Relational core. Search-ready. Standards‑aligned. We design PostgreSQL‑first systems for museums, organizations, and private collections—extensible with search and graph when you need it.
Core
Relational (Postgres)
Transactions, foreign keys, recursive CTEs, and JSONB flexibility.
Search
Elasticsearch / Solr
OCR and descriptive full‑text search at scale.
Media
External storage
Checksums, paths, and renditions tracked in the database.
Interoperability
Standards‑aligned
DACS, ISAD(G), EAD, and linked data‑ready identifiers.
Outcome
A future‑proof archival platform that grows with your collection.
Proven integrity and query power, with modern flexibility via JSONB and integrations.
Foreign keys and transactions prevent orphan records and partial updates.
Recursive CTEs or ORMs reconstruct collection trees without losing context.
Use JSONB for variable technical fields without frequent schema changes.
Pair with Elasticsearch or Solr for OCR and keyword discovery.
Managed Postgres or MySQL, and read replicas for public traffic.
DACS, ISAD(G), EAD, and AAT integrated into schema and UI.
Start with PostgreSQL; extend with search and graph when needed. Media lives in object storage with checksums tracked in‑DB.

Diagram is illustrative. Components can be tailored to in‑house or managed cloud.
We store binaries in object storage (S3/GCS/Azure) and keep URIs, renditions, and checksums in the database to keep backups lean and integrity high.
Yes. We design the schema and UI around these standards and can export EAD/MARC or publish linked data as needed.
We index descriptive metadata and OCR text in Elasticsearch or Solr for fast keyword and faceted search, while the RDBMS remains the source of truth.
Let’s map your data model and architecture in a focused discovery session.
