DBmarlin

DBmarlin is a database observability platform designed to help teams understand and improve the performance of their databases. It works by capturing detailed information like SQL statement text and wait states, showing you exactly where time is spent during execution. The tool automatically detects changes to database schemas, parameters, and explain plans, allowing you to see how those changes affect performance. It supports a wide range of database platforms, including self-hosted systems and major cloud services like Azure SQL, Amazon RDS, and Google Cloud SQL.

What sets DBmarlin apart is its integrated AI Co-pilot. You can ask questions directly from any screen and get instant recommendations on wait events, indexing, query rewrites, and other tuning tasks. This feature aims to make expert-level database insights accessible to people who aren't specialists. The platform presents all this information through a modern, consistent user interface that works across different database technologies, making it easier for diverse teams to collaborate on performance issues.

This tool is most useful for database administrators, DevOps engineers, and application developers who need to ensure their applications run smoothly. Real-world use cases include quickly finding the root cause of a sudden application slowdown, understanding the performance impact of a new code deployment, or getting step-by-step advice on how to optimize a slow-running SQL query. By putting clear, actionable performance data in the hands of more people, DBmarlin helps teams keep their databases running fast.
