DataStrike Doubles Database Management Personnel to Accommodate Growing Database Management Business

Pittsburgh, June 18, 2025 DataStrike, a leader in data infrastructure managed services, announced a 600%, six-month increase in its open-source database management business, fueled by rising enterprise adoptions of PostgreSQL. To support this growth, the company also doubled its team of database management professionals, with a focus on PostgreSQL-certified talent, positioning the company as a go-to partner for open-source database solutions. Utilizing its fractional support model, DataStrike delivers cost-effective, scalable solutions for data management, transformation and analytics across leading platforms.

PostgreSQL’s popularity continues to accelerate as organizations move away from legacy systems toward more flexible, open-source architectures. According to the 2023 Stack Overflow survey, PostgreSQL surpassed MySQL for the first time as the most-used database among professional developers, with 49% reporting extensive development experience with it. The latest State of PostgreSQL report further confirms this trend, with 51% of respondents stating PostgreSQL usage has increased in their organizations over the past year.

"In the last year, demand for our database management services has surged, especially as more clients seek support for open-source platforms like PostgreSQL," said Rob Brown, president and COO of DataStrike. "Organizations are increasingly aware that they lack the in-house resources to effectively manage these complex projects. That’s where DataStrike comes in—we deliver comprehensive, flexible solutions that help clients unlock the full value of their data, all without the overhead of hiring full-time staff, and through one streamlined, cost-efficient agreement."

DataStrike’s DBA services provide round-the-clock, U.S.-based support for PostgreSQL and other leading platforms, including Oracle, SQL Server, MariaDB, MySQL, MongoDB, AWS Redshift and SAP Hana. Leveraging a fractional support model, the company helps clients manage increasingly complex data environments with agility and cost efficiency. Whether supporting a full-scale database migration, performance tuning, or long-term optimization, DataStrike delivers end-to-end expertise under a single, streamlined agreement.

A recent DataStrike survey of nearly 200 IT leaders revealed that 54% of IT leaders lack the resources and tools to meet growing demands in data infrastructure management. Nearly half (49%) of IT teams are tasked with managing more than one database platform, with most working across an average of two cloud environments. The findings underscore a growing shift toward outsourcing, with many organizations turning to fractional support models and managed service providers (MSPs) to bridge expertise gaps and reduce overhead.
