Independent software development and database consulting. We make apps and games for Android and iOS, and help teams keep their databases fast, safe and recoverable.
Apps & games
Published under our Plausible Plan label.
Certain Death
A chaotic shedding card game with stacking penalties and dirty-trick cards. Play 1 to 7 computer opponents, unlock achievements and climb a leaderboard where every match is replayed and verified. No ads, ever.
English and Brazilian Portuguese · Android, with iOS to follow.
Database services
Twenty years of hands-on database administration across government, health data, telecom and SaaS: Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL and MySQL, on premises and on AWS. Remote, by the project or on retainer.
Performance tuning
Slow queries, blocking and waits found and fixed: execution plans, indexing, statistics and instance configuration.
High availability & DR
Oracle RAC and Data Guard, Aurora and RDS, and backup and recovery that is tested rather than assumed, sized to how long you can afford to be down.
Cloud migrations
On-premises to AWS moves and version upgrades, up to multi-terabyte Oracle Exadata, planned and rehearsed so the cut-over is uneventful.
AWS data platforms
Serverless pipelines and self-service analytics with Glue, Lambda, Athena, Redshift and S3, taking load and cost off your transactional databases.
Health checks & governance
A written review of security, configuration, capacity and standards, with the documentation auditors ask for, such as ISO 27001.
Automation & ETL
PL/SQL, T-SQL and shell scripting for monitoring, maintenance and data loads, so routine work runs itself.
About
Luminous Heights IT was founded in 2015 in Canada to build a game for a friend. Today it is a small independent studio and consultancy: we make our own games under the Plausible Plan label, and bring twenty years of database administration experience to clients who need their data fast, safe and always recoverable.
