About
Your trusted SQL advisers
SQL experts
At Cloud Rede, we challenge what’s possible with SQL. With decades of experience in this space, we’re among the few that can claim SQL expert status.
From zero to everything
Our clients’ businesses rely on extensive relational databases. We work with them to deliver major SQL projects, with impressive results. We’ve helped organisations to handle tens of thousands of complex queries per second – a near three-fold increase on their previous capabilities in SQL. The effects are transformative.
Guiding, not gatekeeping
We’ve spent decades honing our craft, but we don’t keep our knowledge to ourselves. We’ll share with your team, and work closely with them to achieve the results you need.
