For DBAs and database reliability engineers
Depth you can defend in the post-incident review
DBExplore gives you the fidelity of your own scripts across a fleet you could never script by hand, and the evidence to act on what it finds.
What goes wrong
Six consoles, one on-call phone
RDS Performance Insights, Cloud SQL Query Insights, a Grafana board for Patroni, a spreadsheet for the rest. Every engine hides its blind spot in a different place.
Noise without action
Threshold alerts fire on every autovacuum and every batch job. The tool that finally finds the real problem then leaves you to fix it by hand at 03:00.
Half the fleet, half the DBAs
Instances grow every quarter. Headcount does not. The manual health check you used to run weekly is now monthly and getting worse.
What DBExplore does about it
The operational detail behind this: the read-only role your DBA creates, and what it may read.
Active session history, kept long enough to matter
Wait events, blocking trees, and period-over-period compare, retained so a lock storm from last Tuesday is still there when you look.
Plan changes, not plan noise
Structural plan fingerprints across every supported major version. A regression fires only on a plan change plus a real slowdown against the best prior plan.
Vacuum, wraparound, bloat, and slots
Wraparound runway, dead-tuple pressure, bloat estimates, and replication slots holding back WAL, with the runbook attached.
Remediation that shows its work
From cancel-query to concurrent index build. Each dry-runs, executes on your approval, and verifies against the live system.
DBAs and DBREs: questions we get first
How does the agent connect?
A container, Kubernetes deployment or sidecar, or native package next to your databases, using a read-only monitoring role over a small connection pool with short statement timeouts. No superuser.
Which extensions do you need?
pg_stat_statements is recommended. Optional extensions unlock plan capture, what-if indexes, and bloat estimates, and the collectors degrade gracefully when an extension is absent.
Can DBExplore change anything without approval?
Not by default. Every tenant starts at approve. Disruptive actions always need two approvers, and every mutating action passes a fail-closed policy gate first.
Does it replace my scripts?
It replaces the ones you run to find problems. The ones you run to fix them become templates you can approve in one click, with the same SQL you would have typed.
