A flexible team of specialists — assembled to match your project scope
We design, build, and maintain robust data pipelines that move and transform your data reliably — from source systems to your data warehouse or lake.
From schema design to stored procedures and data modelling — we build databases that are well-structured, maintainable, and fit for purpose. Our highly experienced DBAs provide hands-on support across all major platforms.
Slow queries, bloated pipelines, inefficient data flows — we diagnose and fix the root causes, dramatically reducing processing times and costs.
We review your data workflows end-to-end and identify inefficiencies — automating manual steps, reducing errors, and improving team productivity.
Safely migrating data between platforms, databases, or cloud environments — with minimal downtime and zero data loss. We handle the planning, validation, and cutover so your team can focus on business continuity.
Ongoing or project-based DBA support to keep your databases healthy, performant, and secure. From routine maintenance and backups to incident response and capacity planning, we've got your data estate covered.
A retail bank's overnight processing job was routinely overrunning its window, causing downstream failures. We re-architected the pipeline using incremental loading and parallel processing, bringing it back within SLA.
An insurer was manually reconciling claims data from disparate systems. We built a unified ELT pipeline with dbt transformations, giving analysts a single reliable source of truth for the first time.
A telecoms provider needed sub-minute visibility into network anomalies. We designed and deployed a Kafka-based streaming pipeline feeding a real-time dashboard, replacing a 15-minute batch process.
"Petalouda transformed our data infrastructure. What used to take hours now runs in minutes. Their team took the time to understand our business before writing a single line of code."
"They spotted a partitioning issue in our claims pipeline that we'd been living with for two years. Fixed in a week. The team were professional, communicative, and genuinely excellent engineers."
"Honest, pragmatic consultants who deliver. No unnecessary complexity, no upselling. They built exactly what we needed and left the team fully able to maintain it — that's rare."
Whether you have a specific project in mind or just want to explore what's possible, we're happy to have a no-obligation conversation. We typically respond within one business day.
