Enterprise PostgreSQL · Managed by Optizence

Leave the Oracle tax behind.

A managed, custom-tuned PostgreSQL 18 platform that replaces Oracle end to end — server build and performance tuning, plus three purpose-built tools for monitoring, migration, and backup. No license tax, no vendor lock-in, no compliance audits. Real numbers, not just claims.

The monopoly

The Oracle tax.

Decades of per-core pricing and licensing audits made "Oracle" and "vendor lock-in" synonymous. Every one of these is a line item you stop paying the day you leave.

Licensing

Per-core licensing

Every CPU upgrade becomes a bigger invoice — the hardware you buy to go faster costs you more just to run the same database.

Audits

Compliance audits

License-management audits are a standing sales channel, not a formality — non-compliance findings convert straight into new invoices.

Support

Mandatory support fees

Annual support runs roughly a fifth of the license price — forever — whether or not you ever open a ticket.

Lock-in

Proprietary lock-in

PL/SQL, proprietary backup formats, and appliance-tuned features are designed to make leaving expensive. That friction is the business model.

Why PostgreSQL

Everything Oracle gates, open by default.

High security & reliability
High customizability & transparency
Free from vendor lock-in
Enterprise features at a lower cost
Powered by a global open-source community
Oracle-compatible where it counts

Performance

Engineered for performance.

Architectural choices Oracle either charges extra for or doesn't offer at all.

Replication

Real-time replication

Native streaming & logical replication ship with PostgreSQL — no licensed add-on. Logical slots sync to standbys automatically, so replication survives a failover with no manual resync.

I/O

Asynchronous I/O

PostgreSQL 18's async I/O overlaps reads with computation instead of blocking on every page fetch — higher throughput on the same hardware.

Memory

Single-buffer design

A tuned shared-buffers pool with direct I/O — no double caching between the database and the OS page cache — for predictable, repeatable performance.

Tuning

Active AI-based tuning

PSQLMonitor continuously tunes both SQL and database configuration — index suggestions, plan-regression tracking, and config-drift detection — applied, not just reported.

Consolidation

One database, four jobs.

Fewer moving parts — fewer services to patch, monitor, and pay licenses or hosting bills for.

D

System of record

The core OLTP engine — ACID transactions, foreign keys, real constraints. What you already trust Oracle for.

C

Caching layer

Unlogged tables and a tuned buffer pool serve hot reads in-memory — no separate cache cluster to run, patch, or fail over.

Q

Message queue

Pub-sub plus skip-locked job queues cover most workloads a dedicated message broker exists for.

V

Vector database

pgvector with HNSW indexing — production-scale AI retrieval in the same database as your data.

The stack

Three purpose-built tools, not one black box.

Every claim ties back to a real, working program — not a slide bullet.

M
Monitor & advise

PSQLMonitor

AI-powered, self-hosted PostgreSQL monitoring: prioritized insights, natural-language querying, and a query optimizer that tunes SQL and config — with an active-learning loop that retrains nightly.

Advisor

  • Prioritized insights — bloat, missing/unused indexes, config drift, health regressions, each with remediation
  • Ask the DB — natural language to safe, read-only SQL on a bundled local model
  • Query optimizer — slow-query detection, plan analysis, validated index suggestions, plan-regression tracking

Operate

  • 18 live metric views — activity, locks, WAL, replication, I/O and more
  • Guardrail-screened SQL editor with schema browser
  • Active auditing of risky DDL/DML plus a full security & config trail

Safety & learning

  • Guardrails always on — generated SQL must be read-only and single-statement or it's rejected
  • Capability tiers unlocked per grant — nothing enabled silently
  • Anomaly detection & capacity forecasting over metric snapshots
B
Migrate

OraBridge

A single static Go binary that moves Oracle workloads to PostgreSQL — no Oracle client, no JVM. Every write mode runs a read-only assessment first and refuses to proceed while any blocker remains.

Cold SQL file

  • Portable dump you can transfer, stage, or restore anywhere
  • No target database touched until you say restore
  • Downtime: a window

Direct migrate

  • One command runs the whole cold pipeline — DDL, copy, and row-count reconciliation
  • Straight into a live PostgreSQL schema
  • Downtime: a window

Real-time replica

  • Continuous change-data-capture keeps PostgreSQL current while Oracle stays live
  • The answer to GoldenGate — without the separate license
  • Downtime: none → ~zero
Abort-safe cutover. The state machine holds one invariant — SourceWritable ⊕ TargetWritable — so exactly one side is writable at all times. A reconcile mismatch aborts before the point of no return: the target stays read-only, the source stays authoritative, and there is no split-brain window.
R
Backup & recover

pgo-backup

Pure-Go backup & restore that streams physical backups directly over PostgreSQL's replication protocol, with real-time WAL streaming for minimal data loss. Local, S3, or SFTP.

Back up

  • Physical — full, differential, incremental; chains reassemble automatically on restore
  • Logical — export chosen schemas or tables via a guided wizard that reads your live schema
  • Roles and grants captured alongside every backup

Recover

  • Point-in-time recovery to an exact moment or write position
  • Recover a single database from a cluster-wide restore
  • Drill — restore, boot, probe, discard: the only real proof a backup restores

Run unattended

  • Least-privilege by default — never runs as superuser
  • Retention that verifies survivors before deleting and never orphans a chain
  • Built-in monitoring — a missed backup pages you, not silently disappears
Honesty

Honest, stated limits.

We tell you what's proven and what isn't — before you bet production on it.

OraBridge

Change-data-capture throughput is benchmarked against your peak load before any live go-live.
Reconciliation is row-count by default; checksum comparison is available but not the enforced gate.
Translated stored-procedure output is advisory only — always reviewed, never auto-applied.

pgo-backup

PostgreSQL 18 only — it refuses older servers on purpose.
No built-in encryption — backups are compressed; you protect the storage location.
For production progress, use the CLI/status output rather than the interactive menu.

PSQLMonitor

Natural-language SQL is guarded, not unrestricted — read-only, single-statement, or rejected.
Low-confidence answers are queued for human review before they train the model.
Deeper tiers (writes, audit) require you to grant the extension — nothing unlocks silently.
