Alpiflow

Alpiflow packages database performance work into a single, well-defined engagement: the Five-Day Database Audit. Instead of an open-ended time-and-materials contract, the studio charges a flat fee and commits to a five-business-day turnaround on a production PostgreSQL or SQL Server database. The team describes itself as an independent engineering studio based in Italy and invoices with its own VAT number, which matters for European buyers who need a compliant supplier.

The process is built to avoid handing over credentials or row-level data. After payment you receive a read-only collection script that gathers engine and version details, configuration and settings, table sizes and vacuum statistics, unused indexes, and the slowest statements with literals stripped out. You inspect the archive yourself before sending it encrypted, so you stay in control of what leaves your environment. The script never collects row data or credentials.

On day five you get a report ranked by risk — typically 15 to 25 pages — plus ready-to-run SQL scripts for new or dropped indexes, settings changes and rewritten queries, each with a rollback plan. A 90-day plan spreads the fixes over three months with a verification step for each, and a ten-minute screen recording walks through the findings. Two weeks of email Q&A and a money-back guarantee (if fewer than five actionable fixes are found, you get a full refund) back the deliverable. Alpiflow also offers follow-on work applying the fixes and handling .NET and PostgreSQL integrations.
