Great to have OtterTune live on Product Hunt. Check out our listing for an exclusive, 25% off promo code. The problems we solve for PostgreSQL and MySQL running on Amazon RDS and Aurora: 🛠️ DB optimization isn't easy. There's hundreds of system parameters and variables to tune. We take out the guesswork to get you consistent, maximized performance that in many cases are over 100% better than stock Amazon settings and 70+% better than dedicated tuning tools. ☁️ Help is scarce and expensive. Many companies don't have a dedicated DBA and engineers and developers are being asked to act as one (amidst all their other tasks). We give folks back time and act as their database co-pilot, constantly running and optimizing in the background. ☁️ Cloud costs are getting out of control. You can throw more money at instance size and configuration in AWS, but you'll get diminishing returns. We help you maximize performance while keeping costs flat and can even help you scale down your instances to save on costs. What some of our customers have said: 😮💨 "With OtterTune in place, our team can focus more on new development and be much less distracted by database administration." 📉 "OtterTune was like having an 'easy button' for performance improvement. We reduced P99 from 275ms to 13ms." 👍 "OtterTune makes our databases better. It makes our incidents fewer, which makes our customers happier, which makes us better overall." 🔥 "It really saved our bacon. We saw a 30% increase in throughput in the first week. It was like having a knob that allowed us to say, 'Go faster, please.'"
