Overview
DBmarlin is a next-generation database observability and monitoring solution engineered to ensure databases run fast and stay fast. By democratizing database performance data, it empowers a wide range of roles—including DBAs, SREs, DevOps engineers, and application developers—to understand bottlenecks without requiring expert SQL tuning knowledge. DBmarlin's multi-database support creates a modern, consistent user interface across diverse self-hosted and cloud-hosted environments, including CockroachDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, and SAP HANA. A standout feature is the AI Co-pilot, which offers real-time actionable insights, wait event analysis, query rewrites, and indexing recommendations directly within the platform. The platform captures SQL statement text and wait states at an impressive 1-second granularity, enabling teams to pinpoint exactly where execution time is spent. Furthermore, DBmarlin automatically detects changes to schema objects, database parameters, and explain plans, overlaying these with CI/CD events from tools like Jenkins, Liquibase, and Harness. This correlation between code releases and database performance drastically reduces root cause analysis time. Backed by UK-based Application Performance Ltd., DBmarlin offers both a free-forever tier and deep integrations with modern observability tools like Datadog, New Relic, and Instana.
