VMware Tanzu for PostgreSQL — Consulting, Support & Licensing

Expert PostgreSQL Consulting, Support & Licensing for VMware Tanzu

Q: What is VMware Tanzu for PostgreSQL?

VMware Tanzu for PostgreSQL is a Kubernetes-native enterprise PostgreSQL distribution from Broadcom. It includes the PostgreSQL Operator for automated lifecycle management (provisioning, scaling, upgrades, backup, and failover), plus commercial support backed by Broadcom's engineering teams. It's designed for organizations running PostgreSQL on Kubernetes who need enterprise SLAs beyond community support.

Q: What does PostgreSQL consulting from AceMQ include?

Our PostgreSQL consulting covers Tanzu Operator deployment, schema design, query optimization, index strategy, vacuum tuning, connection pooling with PgBouncer, replication management, backup and recovery, migrations, and commercial licensing. Every PostgreSQL consulting engagement is led by a senior DBA with production PostgreSQL expertise.

Q: Can you help with Oracle to PostgreSQL migration?

Yes. We perform Oracle to PostgreSQL migrations covering schema translation (PL/SQL to PL/pgSQL), sequence and trigger migration, data type mapping, stored procedure conversion, and full data validation. We use ora2pg and custom migration scripts — and we validate at the application layer, not just the data layer.

Q: Do you provide 24/7 PostgreSQL DBA support?

Yes. Our PostgreSQL support is 24/7 with a 15-minute emergency SLA for production database failures, severe performance degradation, or data integrity concerns. You reach a senior PostgreSQL DBA directly — no tier-1 routing, no junior engineers on critical incidents.

Q: What is PgBouncer and do I need it?

PgBouncer is a PostgreSQL connection pooler that sits between your application and PostgreSQL — multiplexing thousands of application connections down to a configured pool size. For applications with many short-lived connections (web servers, microservices), PgBouncer is essential to prevent connection overhead from killing PostgreSQL performance. We configure PgBouncer in transaction pooling mode for most web application workloads.

Q: Can you help deploy PostgreSQL on Kubernetes with the Tanzu Operator?

Yes. We deploy the VMware Tanzu for PostgreSQL Operator, configure instance CRs (replica count, storage, resources), integrate S3 backup, configure monitoring with Prometheus ServiceMonitors, and set up point-in-time recovery. We also handle operator upgrades and PostgreSQL major version upgrades via rolling operator-managed procedures.

Q: How do I get a Tanzu for PostgreSQL licensing quote?

Contact AceMQ and we'll provide a Tanzu for PostgreSQL licensing quote within 24 hours. As a Broadcom Expert Advantage Partner, we have direct access to Tanzu pricing and can structure subscriptions appropriate for your cluster size and support requirements.

Q: What PostgreSQL extensions do you support?

We support configuration and optimization of major PostgreSQL extensions including TimescaleDB (time-series), PostGIS (geospatial), pgvector (AI/ML vector similarity), pg_partman (partition management), pg_cron (scheduled jobs), and Citus (distributed PostgreSQL). We help evaluate which extensions fit your use case and configure them correctly for production.

VMware Tanzu for PostgreSQL is an enterprise-grade, Kubernetes-native PostgreSQL distribution with automated operations, high availability, and Broadcom-backed commercial support. As a Broadcom Expert Advantage Partner of the Year, AceMQ delivers expert PostgreSQL consulting, DBA services, production support with a 15-minute emergency SLA, and Tanzu for PostgreSQL licensing — so your database team can focus on development, not operations.
