Autonomous Operation Workflow
- Grant a read-only monitoring role — statistics and metadata, not table data.
- Point it at the instances you want watched.
- Set a baseline period so it learns normal load before flagging anything.
- Review the first report; it is usually longer than later ones.
- Apply the changes you agree with, through your normal change process.
- Leave it running so slow degradations surface as they happen rather than quarterly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it change anything on the database by itself?
No. It proposes — an index, a reclaimed table, a changed parameter — with the reasoning and the statement attached. A human applies it. Autonomous DDL against a production database is not a feature we are willing to ship.
What does it actually look at?
Slow query logs, execution plans, index usage, table bloat, lock contention and configuration drift. The same places a DBA looks, checked continuously rather than when something is already on fire.
We already have a DBA. What is this for?
The routine sweep. Most DBAs are interrupt-driven and the quiet degradations — an index that stopped being used, statistics going stale, a query that got slower over months — are exactly what gets missed. It surfaces those so the DBA spends time on judgement rather than inspection.
Which databases does it support?
The mainstream engines: PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle. Support depth varies by engine because their diagnostics differ, and we will tell you which of your estate is well covered before you buy rather than after.
How does it avoid recommending an index for every slow query?
By weighing write cost and existing coverage, not just read gain. An index that speeds one report and slows every insert is a bad trade, and a recommendation that ignores that is worse than none.
Does it need production access?
It needs read access to statistics and metadata, not to your data. For most engines that is a monitoring role with no rights over table contents.
