Overview

We created Crystal DBA so that everyone can have instant access to the expertise of the best database administrators. Whether you need to fix a missing index, check a query plan, understand scalability bottlenecks, or stay ahead of threats to availability or security, Crystal DBA is your go-to tool.

Crystal DBA connects to PostgreSQL wherever it runs—on cloud managed services such as AWS RDS, Azure SQL, or Google Cloud SQL, on Kubernetes, on cloud VMs, on on-prem servers, or even to the development environment on your laptop. It then collects performance and configuration information about your database, allowing it to answer questions and provide tailored and actionable recommendations.

Crystal DBA leverages AI capabilities to tirelessly monitor and analyze vast amounts of data signals, extracting meaningful insights that would otherwise require an expert to comb through pages of graphs to deduce. By applying the extensive experience gained in the Crystal DBA test environment and the documented knowledge of the broader PostgreSQL ecosystem, Crystal DBA can proactively identify and address potential issues before they become problems. This allows it to react swiftly to any anomalies, providing a level of vigilance and responsiveness that is unattainable for human administrators.

Getting started with Crystal DBA is free and easy. Download it, point it at your database, and start talking to your system in under two minutes. This basic installation is suitable for individual use and drops in anyplace you might use psql or pgAdmin.

To access the monitoring, historical analysis, and team collaboration features of Crystal DBA, use the team or custom deployment models.
