Partner with VSHN on Managed PostgreSQL
You bring the customer relationship and database expertise: schema design, migration planning from Oracle or MySQL, query optimization, application integration. VSHN brings 24/7 managed operations, Swiss data residency, and a 99.99% SLA. Together you deliver a complete managed PostgreSQL solution without either side building capabilities you don't have.
Why this works
We make our money running PostgreSQL every month, not by winning the migration or schema work you do. About 86% of VSHN's revenue is that recurring operation; the remainder is support and change requests, not consulting mandates.
- Structurally not a competitor: our revenue comes from the operation, not from your project hours
- Your client relationship holds: VSHN runs the database behind it, never in front of it
- Self-service for your customers: instances come from a Kubernetes custom resource, the Servala portal or the Open Service Broker API, so your team's time goes into what the database holds, not into provisioning it
How we collaborate
Lead Partner model. For each project, one of us is the customer's single point of contact. Who leads depends on the project, agreed per engagement. The Lead Partner drives the project, handles invoicing, and owns first-level support.
Joint delivery. You handle consulting, integration, and project management. VSHN handles infrastructure operations, monitoring, backups, and SLA. Or the other way around, depending on the project. Roles are agreed per engagement, not locked into a rigid structure.
Flexible billing. Invoice the customer together or separately, agreed per project. Both models are supported: each party invoices their share directly, or one party invoices the full amount and redistributes.
Protected relationships. No undercutting. Your customer stays your customer. Existing relationships are respected on both sides, with contractual protections for both parties.
Division of labor for Managed PostgreSQL
| Your role | VSHN's role |
|---|---|
| Schema design and review | PostgreSQL instance operations |
| Migration planning from Oracle/MySQL | Backups and point-in-time recovery (PITR) |
| Query optimization | HA/replication setup |
| Application integration | Monitoring and upgrades |
| Project management | 24/7 operations and incident response |
Keep the client relationship. Hand over the database.
You wrote the application, and the client's PostgreSQL landed in your contract with it. Nobody on your team wants to be the one restoring a backup at night, and the hours that go into vacuum tuning and version upgrades are hours not spent on the software you were hired to build.
Then the Lead Partner model runs in one direction: you stay the client's single point of contact and invoice them, and VSHN operates the database behind you under a contract with you.
We operate what we know. PostgreSQL has to be set up to the VSHN standard before we can run it around the clock, because the engineer who answers at 03:00 has to know the system. An existing instance is brought to that standard first.
Partners delivering Managed PostgreSQL
Servala lists no consulting partner for PostgreSQL today. VSHN operates the database, and the application work is yours or ours to do.
