About Elevarq
We build PostgreSQL tools that pitch the change, show the evidence, and step back. The team owning the database decides yes or no.
Elevarq exists to make running PostgreSQL less of a guessing game for the engineering teams that own the database. The gap we close is the one between “something is wrong” and “here is the fix, with the evidence, ready to ship.”
The company is the trade name of Scantr LLC. The product is Arq — a PostgreSQL intelligence platform built around three named components: Arq Signals collects, Arq Analyzer correlates and detects, Arq Workbench presents the findings and pushes implementable triage tickets to the tracker the team already uses.
Principles
How we decide what Arq does and what it deliberately does not. Each principle is operational, not aspirational.
Evidence before judgment
Every finding traces to specific snapshot evidence — the catalog rows, the statistics values, the configuration state. No vague best practices. No copy-paste advice. If the evidence is not there, the finding does not exist.
Deterministic first, LLM bounded
Detection rules are deterministic. Arq Insight writes the pitch, in language a reviewer can read in thirty seconds, but cannot invent findings, cannot escape the cited evidence, and cannot promote severity.
Safety over cleverness
A conservative correct answer is better than an impressive wrong one. Read-only access. No autonomous remediation. No telemetry to Elevarq. The human in the loop decides what ships and when.
Who Elevarq is for
The shortlist. The longer version, with the audience-map detail, lives on the homepage.
CTOs and CIOs
De-risk PostgreSQL operations without scaling a DBA team. Predictable triage, auditable evidence, no SaaS data-egress question.
DevOps engineers
Implementable tickets, not another dashboard. Hand the fix to whoever ships it; Arq has already written the rollback.
Developers without a dedicated DBA
The team owns the database because no one else does. Arq writes the senior-DBA-level diagnosis the team would have asked for if there was a DBA to ask.
System integrators and cloud providers
Serve your customers' PostgreSQL workloads better. One Arq deployment per end customer; channel-friendly, license-per-customer pricing.
Who's behind it
Elevarq was founded by Frank Heikens, a PostgreSQL practitioner with two decades of operational experience across financial services, telecom, and SaaS. The shape of Arq comes directly from that work: the findings format is the one a senior DBA would write by hand, the safety constraints are the ones an enterprise review would demand on day one, and the deployment model is the one an airgapped environment can actually run.
The team grows as the product does. Open roles, when we have them, will be linked here.
