I'm the founder and CEO of Academia.edu, which is a social networking site for researchers. We have about 2.5 million monthly unique visitors and about 9 million monthly page views.
We use PostgreSQL on Amazon EC2, and currently our engineering team is 4 people. We're well aware that there may be some optimizations we could make to our PostgreSQL set-up that we aren't aware of, as we aren't deeply experienced with PostgreSQL. We are looking to bring in an expert PostgreSQL consultant for a day or two to look through our PostgreSQL set-up, and give us some tips on how to optimize it.
Does anyone know any companies/individuals in the Bay Area who offer PostgreSQL consulting services? Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
