What Is a Managed DBA Service?
A managed DBA (Database Administrator) service provides ongoing database administration, monitoring, and support as an outsourced function. Instead of hiring a full-time DBA—who might cost $150,000/year in salary alone—you get access to a team of senior DBAs for a fraction of the cost.
The team monitors your databases 24/7, responds to alerts immediately, performs routine maintenance (vacuuming, index rebuilds, backups), and proactively optimizes performance. You get a Slack channel and escalation path—the same as having an on-call DBA without the overhead.
DharmOps manages databases for 500+ clients with a track record of 99.99% uptime maintained across all managed systems.
Comprehensive Monitoring Coverage
We monitor every critical database metric—not just uptime. Our proactive approach catches issues hours or days before they cause outages.

- CPU, memory, disk I/O, and network utilization
- Replication lag monitoring and alerting
- Connection pool saturation and thread contention
- Table bloat and autovacuum health (PostgreSQL)
- Backup success, failure, and restore time verification
- Index fragmentation and unused index detection
- Lock waits and deadlock frequency
- Cache hit ratio and buffer pool efficiency
- Storage growth forecasting (days until full)
- Custom application query SLA monitoring
- SSL certificate expiry alerts
