What is database development?

Database development involves building or customizing a solution to store and manage the company’s data. If you need to securely store and manage volumes of data, if you’re switching software or hardware solutions, and if you want to optimize existing systems that control your information, you’ll need database development services.

What are the types of databases?

There are different types of databases, and primarily, they are divided into relational (SQL) and non-relational ones (NoSQL). A relational database can be easier to use because it stores the information in tables, while a non-relational one can be more flexible as it stores the data according to particular requirements and adjusts to each file type. Databases can also be categorized by the way they store data: in the cloud or on-premises. There are many different types of databases that can be suitable for different formats of data and use cases. When partnering with a database development firm, make sure that the proposed solution fits your particular agenda. If you have an internal development team or technical background, you can discuss the types of database tools and systems a provider is using (Apache, MongoDB, etc.).

What are the stages of database development?

The first stage is discussing business requirements, and based on them, developers propose the optimal database design solution. Database design involves several stages: conceptual modeling (which describes the contents and business rules of the database), logical modeling (which describes the implementation of the database), and physical modeling (which defines the implementation within a specific tool for database management). The next step is the actual implementation of a database, including testing to ensure that the data is compliant and isn’t exposed to vulnerabilities. Then, after the database is ready to use, it can be continuously monitored to identify and fix errors.

How to choose the right database development services company?

Explore the company’s portfolio to see if there are relevant cases with the successful implementation of databases. Ask about the experience developers have and what types of solutions they can offer. Also, learn about the collaboration models and communication tools to make sure it’s the right fit.

2	Database design	At this stage of cooperation with a database development company, engineers will create a database model that fits your business rules, the formats of data you’re using, and the functions you want to perform.	3-4 weeks	Head of PMO Senior Data Engineer
3	Implementation	Once the database model is approved by stakeholders, engineers proceed to its physical implementation and testing to move all your data to the database and ensure that it’s secure and easy to use.	3-6 months	Development Team
4	Deployment and maintenance	Our specialists will continuously monitor the database server to ensure that the implemented database performs according to the planned logic, allows you to easily manage your data, and includes backup and recovery plans.	Ongoing	Development Team
