Automated Database Optimization

Stop Overpaying for
Over-Provisioned Databases

Most dev/test databases run on premium tiers they don't need. Our AI analyzes actual usage and downgrades automatically.

The $6,000/Month Mistake

"We cloned our production database for dev and test environments. Kept the same tier - GeneralPurpose with 8 vCores. It was the easy button."

"Turns out our test databases were idle 90% of the time. Dev databases only used during business hours. We were burning $6,000 per month on databases that could have been Basic tier."

"After optimization: $900/month. Saved $5,100/month - over $61,000 per year."

— Platform Team Lead, 200-employee SaaS company

This story plays out at thousands of companies. Database tiers get set once and forgotten.

Most dev/test databases don't need premium performance. Basic tier is $5/month vs $400+/month for GeneralPurpose.

How Database Optimization Works

AI-powered analysis that finds the perfect tier for each database

1

Analyze Usage Patterns

We monitor your databases for 7-14 days to understand:

  • CPU utilization - Are you using that 8-core tier?
  • IOPS usage - Premium storage overkill?
  • Connection patterns - Active during work hours only?
  • Query performance - Would Basic tier work fine?
# Usage analysis example
Database: dev-sql-01
Tier: GeneralPurpose (8 vCore)
Cost: $1,460/month
Avg CPU: 8%
Avg IOPS: 120/sec
Peak connections: 12
✓ Basic tier sufficient
Potential savings: $1,455/mo

✓ 5 DTUs
✓ 2GB storage
✓ 99.99% SLA
$5/month
Standard
Moderate Workloads
✓ 10-100 DTUs
✓ Up to 1TB storage
✓ Better performance

Safe, Automated Optimization

We optimize databases automatically with zero downtime:

Production Protection
Never touches production databases (unless explicitly approved)
Scheduled Changes
Tier changes during maintenance windows (minimal impact)
Instant Notifications
Slack/email alerts before and after every change
Easy Rollback
One-click revert if performance issues detected

Continuous Monitoring

After optimization, we keep watching. If usage patterns change, we alert you or auto-adjust back up.

Example Alert:
"dev-sql-02 CPU sustained >80% for 3 days. Recommend upgrade to Standard S3."

Where You're Likely Overpaying

Cloned Production Databases

You copied your production database to dev/test and kept the same tier. Dev databases don't need production performance.

Typical Savings: $400-$1,500 per database per month

Multiple Staging Environments

Each team has their own staging database on Standard or Premium tiers. Most are idle 80% of the time.

Typical Savings: $200-$800 per database per month

Legacy Databases from Old Projects

Databases from old features or abandoned projects still running on premium tiers "just in case."

Typical Savings: Delete or downgrade to Basic ($5/mo)

"We Might Need It" Over-Provisioning

Started with high tier anticipating growth. Growth never came, but you never downgraded.

Typical Savings: $300-$2,000 per database per month
