How it works

From zero to a working DBA in 15 minutes

Self-hosted end-to-end. Your data, your credentials, your VPC.

Run a single command on any Linux box, EC2, or container in your VPC. Installs the DeepSQL agent, CLI, and MCP server on the machine.

Add database connections, teach it your company's knowledge, and feed it your slow query logs. DeepSQL indexes your schema and starts learning your workload immediately.

Postgres or MySQL — read replica, VPC-peered. Read-only credentials, no data leaves your infra.

host: aws-rds-replica.internal

role: deepsql_ro

ssl: require

Teach DeepSQL your business rules in plain English — MRR, active-hotel, currency conventions.

// MRR = SUM(subscription.mrr)

// WHERE status = 'active'

// Active hotel = check-ins ≥ 1 / 30d

Point at pg_stat_statements or MySQL slow log. DeepSQL clusters, ranks, and starts recommending.

source: pg_stat_statements

window: 30d rolling

grouped: 1,284 → 96 fingerprints

Chat with the built-in DeepSQL agent in your browser, or connect Claude, Codex, and Cursor to your DeepSQL instance over MCP or CLI.

Put your database on autopilot.

One-line install. Self-host in 15 minutes. Role-based access, query policies, and audit logs built in.
