Oleg Mikhelson initially created PostgreCare in January 2019 and actively developed significant feature enhancements from 2021 through 2024. The driving force behind PostgreCare was the clear industry gap between simplistic, unreliable maintenance scripts and heavyweight enterprise solutions like pgBackRest and Barman, which require significant investments and expertise. PostgreCare occupies this essential niche by providing SMBs with advanced database maintenance automation at minimal costs, minimal resource usage, and virtually no specialist intervention once deployed. Initially developed for Kazakhstan’s rapidly growing SMB e-commerce sector, PostgreCare quickly demonstrated its practical value, becoming an essential infrastructure for local businesses managing between 1GB and 200GB databases. Clients ranged across multiple industries, such as fashion, electronics, home goods, grocery delivery, and various online marketplaces. In the context of regional digitalization initiatives and infrastructure independence, PostgreCare has provided tangible, accessible solutions to businesses that historically lacked sufficient technical resources or external support. The solution’s unique approach to automation, ease of implementation, and lightweight system footprint have directly contributed to sustained business growth and technological empowerment for SMBs throughout Kazakhstan and neighboring CIS markets.
