Seven services,
one standard

Different problems, same rule: every engagement here has to show its work before we call it done.

Performance

Performance Tuning

AWR analysis, bottleneck elimination, and slow queries fixed for good — not just for today.

See detailsHide details

We read the AWR, but we reproduce the regression before touching a single parameter — wait events, plan flips, contention, proven on a matching environment. No "try this and see" on your production.

Upgrades

Upgrade & Migration Path

Safe Oracle upgrades and 19c → 26ai transitions, planned for minimal downtime.

See detailsHide details

We test the cutover path on a representative environment first, define rollback where it exists, and name the points where it doesn’t — so nothing surprises you on the day.

Cloud

Cloud Migrations

OCI, AWS, Azure, or GTS Romania — benchmarked before you commit.

See detailsHide details

We benchmark your workload against the target before committing to a platform, and we’ll tell you honestly where the numbers favor staying where you are.

Migration

Cross-Platform Migrations

Oracle to PostgreSQL, MySQL, and other platforms — feasibility checked first.

See detailsHide details

Feasible for some workloads, painful for others. We assess which Oracle-specific features you lean on (PL/SQL, partitioning, RAC) before anyone commits to a migration that shouldn’t happen.

Resilience

DR Validation

Full switchover testing before you need it in an actual emergency.

See detailsHide details

We run a controlled switchover and switchback — your real RTO/RPO, not the diagram’s — and document exactly what held and what didn’t.

Compliance

Compliance Assessment

GDPR, SOX, and HIPAA gap analysis mapped to your actual configuration.

See detailsHide details

We map your actual config to the specific controls in scope — access, audit, encryption, retention — and flag the gaps honestly, including the ones with no quick fix.

Cost

Licensing Optimization

Reduce Oracle licensing cost and get audit-ready before Oracle asks.

See detailsHide details

We map DBA_FEATURE_USAGE_STATISTICS against what you’re actually licensed for — most overspend is options quietly in use (partitioning, tuning pack), not headcount. We verify before telling you to drop anything.

How we engage

Three ways to work with us

Most engagements are defined-scope projects; some need embedded capacity, and some need someone to keep the estate running month after month. The standard is the same: senior-only, verified, documented, no lock-in.

  • Senior-only — no juniors
  • Verified, not assumed
  • Documented — no lock-in

Approach · 01

Defined-scope project

Everything in the catalogue — scoped, fixed-price, delivered by a senior DBA, and handed back so you keep running it.

For the team facing one defined problem, who wants a fixed scope and a system they own afterward.

How a project runs

  1. 01

    Scope call

    A free 60-minute conversation with the senior DBA who’d run the work.

  2. 02

    Fixed-scope quote

    Defined scope, fixed price, before anything starts.

  3. 03

    Senior DBA delivers

    The specialist who scoped it does the work.

  4. 04

    Documented handover

    What changed and why. No lock-in.

Approach · 02

Embedded senior DBA

A senior Oracle DBA from our vetted bench joins your team and works under your direction — with a named ORAcraft lead behind them.

For the team that needs senior capacity now, not a project — hands inside your team, under your direction.

What embedding means

  • Embedded in your team

    On-site or remote, part- or full-time.

  • Direct, daily collaboration

    In your tools and standups.

  • Named ORAcraft TAM

    Oversees the engagement continuously.

  • Senior-only bench

    10+ years in production. Never body-leasing.

New

Approach · 03

Managed DBA subscription

We take operational ownership of your estate month to month — alerts, incidents, backups and patching — and hand you the runbook as we go.

For the team that doesn’t have a problem to solve once, but an estate that has to keep running.

What ongoing looks like

  1. 01

    Estate Health Review

    One week, €2,900. Sometimes the verdict is that you do not need us.

  2. 02

    Baseline report

    What’s healthy, what’s at risk, what we’d fix first — before you commit.

  3. 03

    Plan configured

    Service level, coverage window, estate size. Priced, not guessed.

  4. 04

    Monthly runbook

    Every incident reproduced, resolved, documented — and yours.

Get started

The scoping call —
what actually happens

60 minutes. Free. No pitch. You talk to the senior DBA who would run your assessment — not a salesperson.

01

What to bring

Your Oracle version(s), rough estate size, and your deadline. That’s enough.

02

What happens on the call

We ask about your migration window, your known risks, and what ‘verified’ needs to mean in your environment. You ask anything — including how we’d handle your specific setup.

03

What you leave with

A straight answer on whether this assessment fits your situation — including ‘it doesn’t.’ If it doesn’t, we say so on the call and you’ve lost an hour, not a budget.

We don’t assume — we reproduce.
We tell you what we couldn’t test.
Your name stays off our website.
Independent of Oracle.
