PostgreSQL consulting companies in the Bay Area

Hi everyone,

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!

Richard

CEO, Academia.edu

Check out the San Francisco Bay Area PostgreSQL Meetup:
http://www.meetup.com/postgresql-1/ featuring several of the PostgreSQL
core members. Start coming to meetings and you will learn things you
didn't even know you didn't know. :)

Next meeting is in a week. You can get a lot of info over beer after the
meeting. If you need more, you will also meet plenty of good consultants
who are either presenting or learning at the meetups.

Cheers,
Steve
