Why outsource data access and database development?

There are a number of reasons for you to consider outsourcing data access and database development:

• Data access logic is mundane and has little business impact. You want to focus your development effort on core functionalities that deliver high business values.
  
• Data access and database development require good database experience and SQL skills. You want to leverage external expertise to set your project on the right track or to compensate for the shortage of in-house talents.
• Data access layer has high development and performance impact on application as a whole. You want to have a high-performance data access layer that offers maximum flexibility to application development.
• A good backend developer could cost over $1000 a day. You want significant saving on development cost.

How does it work?

The data access layer will be developed as a set of query, command, and repository HTTP services for your application layer to consume. The process generally comprises:

• Initial discussion of business domain and project requirements.
• Setup of GitHub/GitLab project repository and DEV database and access server.
• Submission of project requirements and documents as GitHub/GitLab issues.
• Initial delivery of data model and data access services.
• Submission of subsequent change and enhancement requests as GitHub/GitLab issues.
• Subsequent delivery of database and data access service changes and enhancements.

What are the deliveries?

Source code in GitHub/GitLab repository and deployment on DEV database and data access server.

How fast is the delivery?

Depending on the project and changes,

• Initial delivery: 1-2 week.
• Subsequent changes: 1-2 business days.

How do I communicate with you?

After the initial business domain and project requirement discussion, the communication is mostly through GitHub/GitLab issues. However, I am available for quick chat on Microsoft Teams.

Are there any refunds if I don't like the service?

You may cancel the subscription any time. However, there will be no refund for payments already made, due to the nature of the work.
