Sizes database connection pools for Postgres/MySQL apps from a short JSON of services, pods, workers, threads and pool settings - worst-case connections at autoscale max and during deploy surges vs max_connections, busy connections from rps x hold time, per-process wait odds (Erlang C), CPU and memory limits, PgBouncer client and server limits. Recommends pool sizes or proxy settings. Includes an offline stdlib Python calculator with --self-test.
Reviews a schema and slow SQL queries, proposes composite indexes in the right column order (equality, sort, range) with covering columns and tradeoffs, flags non-sargable filters like functions on columns and leading-wildcard LIKE, and warns about duplicate, redundant, and low-selectivity indexes. Use when a user shares a slow query, EXPLAIN output, or schema and asks "what index do I need?" or "too many indexes?". Includes a tested stdlib Python helper.
Plans and audits backup retention (grandfather-father-son) policies. Simulates hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly keep rules like restic or borg, lists the restore points you really keep and the gaps between them, and estimates storage and cost now and in 12 months. Flags missed RPO, short history, legal retention gaps, no offsite or immutable copy, stale restore tests and job overlap. Includes a stdlib Python planner with --self-test.
Reviews SQL queries and optional EXPLAIN output for common performance problems such as SELECT *, functions or casts on indexed columns, leading-wildcard LIKE, N+1 query loops, OR across columns vs UNION ALL, AND/OR precedence slips, NOT IN subqueries, deep OFFSET paging, seq scans and disk sorts. Explains each problem and gives a rewritten query. Includes a stdlib Python checker with --self-test.
Reviews PostgreSQL and MySQL tables (schema.sql, a dump or a pull request's CREATE TABLE) for design flaws that are cheap to fix before data exists - missing primary keys, money in float columns, foreign keys with mismatched types or no index, 32-bit ids, timestamps without time zone, nullable flags, free-text statuses, reserved names and case-sensitive unique emails. Returns corrected DDL. Includes a stdlib Python linter with --self-test.
Checks your servers over SSH on a schedule: disk, memory, failing services, certificate expiry and suspicious logins, then sends a short health report and alerts only when something needs you.
Finds out why your CI builds are slow: tracks job times over weeks, spots missing caches, serial steps and oversized runners, and suggests concrete changes ranked by minutes saved.
Tracks SLO error budgets across services and tells you when burn rate means it is time to freeze risky deploys.
