Audit an support

The mission consisted in auditing PostgreSQL instances on the Heroku cloud in order to identify performance problems.

In the process, I helped set up a monitoring system and take advantage of Datadog’s dashboards and APM. Some optimizations enabled us to halve response times across the entire website.

I was later asked to help them understand partitioning in Postgres.

Here’s what Lucas Tiné-Berès (Foodles’ CTO) had to say:

Adrien is a great professional. He was able to correctly identify the performance problems of our database and propose appropriate corrective measures.

Adrien was able to adapt to our cloud provider, which didn’t provide an ideal working environment, and helped us set up our monitoring tool via Datadog.

Thanks to him, we’ve been able to halve our p95 and are much more confident about managing our databases.

Last but not least, beyond his technical skills, Adrien’s explanations always include details of how the engine works, and his explanations, both verbally and in his report, are extremely clear.

I recommend Adrien 100% and would be delighted to use his services again.
