Core offering

Data Egret provides PostgreSQL-specialist consulting, managed DBA support, and migration services for enterprises and scale-ups. Core deliverables include PostgreSQL Health Checks, migrations from Oracle, MS SQL, and cloud platforms, dedicated 24/7 DBA support in tiered subscription packages, Architecture and Performance Optimisation Workshops, training courses, and an open-source PostgreSQL utility toolkit (pg-utils).

Product overview

Data Egret is a PostgreSQL-focused consulting company offering a portfolio of professional services rather than a unified software product. The core service offerings include PostgreSQL Migration (from Oracle, MS SQL, and other databases), PostgreSQL Troubleshooting & Consulting, 24/7 Support with dedicated DBAs, Consulting engagements, Architecture Workshop, and Performance Optimisation Workshop. Supporting these services, Data Egret provides a downloadable PostgreSQL Health Check whitepaper (described as their 'Gold Standard for database Health Checks for DevOps and IT Teams without a dedicated PostgreSQL DBA') and offers subscription support plans at three tiers (Ultimate, Advanced, Premium). The company also develops and maintains pg-utils, an open-source PostgreSQL utility suite available on GitHub, and provides PostgreSQL training courses for DBAs and developers via Zoom. All services are available for purchase through AWS Marketplace, and the company maintains strategic partnerships with Splendid Data (for Oracle-to-PostgreSQL migrations) and SolarWinds (for Database Performance Analyzer integration).

Direct peers

• Aiven: Managed open-source data infrastructure including PostgreSQL, with consulting-style guidance and support layered on top. Overlaps with Data Egret on PostgreSQL support delivery but competes from a fully managed cloud angle.
• Postgres Professional: Russian-headquartered PostgreSQL company providing Postgres Pro distribution, enterprise support, and consulting. Comparable PostgreSQL-only services portfolio, though regional focus and ownership differ.
• EDB (EnterpriseDB): PostgreSQL-focused enterprise software and services company offering Postgres distributions, support, and consulting. Closest large-scale peer to Data Egret's PostgreSQL specialization, but bundled with proprietary distribution and tooling rather than pure services.
• Percona: Open-source database consulting and managed services firm with PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB practices. Most direct comparable: similar boutique, community-rooted model offering 24/7 support, consulting, and tools, but at significantly larger scale.
• Crunchy Data: PostgreSQL managed cloud (Crunchy Bridge) plus enterprise support and consulting. Directly comparable PostgreSQL-first support and services business model targeting similar enterprise customers.

Broad incumbents

• Instaclustr (NetApp): Managed open-source data services including PostgreSQL with 24/7 support and consulting overlay. Comparable in offering 24/7 DBA-style coverage but operates at broader infrastructure scale and across multiple data engines.
• AWS RDS for PostgreSQL: Hyperscaler managed PostgreSQL service bundling HA, backups, and patching. Competes with Data Egret's support and health-check services for the baseline operational layer, while creating partnership demand for higher-end expertise.

Others

• Severalnines: Database automation and management tooling (ClusterControl) for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB. Adjacent enabling technology — competes indirectly by making in-house PostgreSQL operations easier, potentially reducing demand for external DBAs.

Emerging players

• Citus Data (Microsoft): PostgreSQL extension for distributed scale-out, now part of Azure. Comparable PostgreSQL-native technology footprint, focused on scaling rather than full-service consulting; represents both an extension of the PostgreSQL ecosystem and a competing commercial layer.
• OpenSCG: PostgreSQL consulting and BigSQL distribution. Comparable boutique PostgreSQL services firm, somewhat smaller and US-focused, serving similar enterprise migration and support use cases.
