Google AlloyDB: Built for Performance and AI
Organizations today manage diverse workloads, from high-volume transactions and real-time analytics to AI-powered applications. Maintaining separate database platforms for these workloads can increase costs and operational complexity.
Google AlloyDB for PostgreSQL addresses these challenges with a fully managed, PostgreSQL-compatible database designed for demanding transactional workloads. It combines a built-in columnar engine for analytical acceleration with AlloyDB AI capabilities for vector search and generative AI applications. With high-performance query processing, enterprise availability, and automated management, AlloyDB helps organizations simplify database operations and build AI-ready data platforms.
With over 30 years of database expertise across Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and SQL Server, Clover Infotech helps organizations migrate to Google AlloyDB, optimise performance, strengthen reliability, and enable AI-powered applications. Our services span the entire lifecycle, from migration assessment and implementation to performance tuning, high availability, disaster recovery, AlloyDB AI enablement, and 24/7 managed services.
Whether you are modernizing PostgreSQL workloads, migrating from other database platforms, or building AI-powered applications, Clover Infotech helps you unlock the potential of Google AlloyDB.
What Is Google AlloyDB?
Google AlloyDB is Google’s fully managed, enterprise-grade database service built for PostgreSQL. It uses PostgreSQL compatibility but adds Google’s capabilities for performance, scalability, availability, and AI-powered applications. Its disaggregated compute and storage architecture separates database processing from storage, enabling high-performance transaction processing, analytical acceleration, and scalable database operations.
• 4× faster for transactional workloads than standard PostgreSQL in Google's published performance tests • Up to 100× faster for analytical queries using the columnar engine in Google's published performance tests • Adaptive query optimisation • Intelligent read pool for scaling reads • High-performance I/O powered by Google's distributed storage architecture • PostgreSQL-compatible versions 14–18
• Up to 99.99% availability SLA with high availability enabled in eligible regions
• Automated failover, typically recovering from most database failures within 60 seconds
• Cross-region replication for disaster recovery
• Continuous backup and point-in-time recovery (PITR)
• Customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK)
• VPC Service Controls
• IAM-based access control and audit logging
Google AlloyDB Services: From Migration Assessment to Ongoing Managed Operations
Migration Assessment & Business Case
We assess your existing database environment, workloads, schema and SQL compatibility, stored procedures, and application dependencies to identify migration requirements and potential challenges. Our assessment includes AlloyDB sizing, cost modelling, a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) comparison with your current database platform, and a phased migration roadmap.
For CXOs: A data-driven migration business case outlining potential cost savings, compatibility gaps, risks, and a phased roadmap to support informed decision-making.
Migration to AlloyDB
We manage end-to-end database migrations from other databases to Google AlloyDB. Our services include schema conversion, data type mapping, stored procedure and function remediation, data migration, cutover planning, and post-migration validation. We use appropriate migration tools, including Google Database Migration Service (DMS), based on source database compatibility and migration requirements.
For CXOs: A structured migration approach designed to maintain data integrity, validate application compatibility, minimise business disruption, and identify opportunities to reduce database licensing and operating costs.
Application Assessment & Remediation
We assess application dependencies, identify incompatibilities, and address ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) configurations and database connectivity issues to ensure compatibility with AlloyDB. Our services include application code remediation, connection configuration, and end-to-end testing to validate application functionality following migration.
For CXOs: A single partner for database and application migration, helping reduce coordination challenges, minimise go-live risks, and ensure a smoother transition to Google AlloyDB.
AlloyDB Implementation & Configuration
We design, implement, and configure AlloyDB environments based on your workload, performance, security, and scalability requirements. Our services include cluster architecture design, instance sizing, parameter tuning, VPC and network configuration, IAM and access controls, and customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK).
For CXOs: An AlloyDB environment tailored to your business needs, security requirements, and budget, with the right architecture and configuration to support performance, scalability, and operational efficiency.
High Availability, DR & Cross-Region Replication
We design and implement AlloyDB high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) solutions to support business continuity. Our services include automated failover configuration, cross-region replication, read pool scaling, continuous backups, point-in-time recovery (PITR), and documented DR runbooks with tested switchover and failback procedures. We also define and validate recovery time objectives (RTO) and recovery point objectives (RPO) to align with your business requirements.
For CXOs: A resilient AlloyDB environment designed to meet your availability and recovery requirements, with tested recovery procedures, defined RTO/RPO, and reduced risk of service disruption.
Performance Engineering & Tuning
We identify and address AlloyDB performance bottlenecks through workload analysis, query execution plan reviews, index optimisation, connection pool tuning, columnar engine configuration for analytical queries, autovacuum tuning, and read pool optimisation. Our approach helps improve query response times, maximise throughput, and optimise database resource utilisation based on your workload requirements.
For CXOs: An optimised AlloyDB environment designed to meet application performance requirements, improve response times, and support efficient handling of transactional and analytical workloads.
AlloyDB AI: Vector Search & AI-Native Applications
We enable organizations build AI-powered applications using AlloyDB AI capabilities. Our services include configuring pgvector and ScaNN for vector search, designing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures, and integrating supported AI functions with Vertex AI and Gemini models. We also design architectures that combine online transaction processing (OLTP) with AI workloads, enabling organizations to build intelligent applications using enterprise data.
For CXOs: Enable transactional and AI workloads within the same database environment, helping simplify architecture, reduce data movement, and support AI-powered applications using enterprise data.
24/7 Managed Services & DBA Support
We provide 24/7 AlloyDB managed services covering continuous monitoring, incident response, query performance optimisation, backup validation, security updates, cluster scaling, cost optimisation, and proactive database health reviews. We also support database configuration updates and ongoing operational management to maintain performance, availability, and security. While AlloyDB automates many database management tasks, expert oversight remains essential for performance optimisation, troubleshooting, and operational efficiency.
For CXOs: Reliable, round-the-clock database support to help maintain performance, availability, and security while reducing the operational burden on your internal IT team.
