Works with the Most Commonly Used Open-Source Databases
Optimizing Mission-Critical Databases for Leading Brands
Your databases are quietly costing you money, time, and sleep
Slow queries, runaway bills, and 3 a.m. pages are the tax of running databases at scale. The expertise to fix them is scarce, expensive, and hard to keep in-house, so problems pile up until something breaks.
Why the usual fixes fall short
Traditional approaches drive up costs, increase toil, and force teams into reactive firefighting
You Got:
However...
What you actually want: continuous, expert-grade optimization for every database, without hiring for it. That's Pulse.
Get Clear Signals. Take Decisive Action.
Pulse keeps your databases running smoothly by identifying issues and telling you exactly how to fix them. Designed to complement monitoring tools like Grafana and Datadog, Pulse adds deep, database-specific insight, root-cause analysis, and preventative intelligence, with experts available 24/7 when you need them.
A Single Pane of Glass for Every Database
See every database you run in one place, across clusters, environments, and clouds. Group them the way you think, by team, environment, cloud, or workload, with each database's health assessment score and any active alerts surfaced right alongside it. Know what's healthy and what needs attention, without juggling consoles.
Query Analytics That Pinpoints What's Slow and Expensive
Pulse traces query patterns across every database and fingerprints them to surface the slow, expensive, and redundant queries driving your latency and cost. See per-query latency, call counts, and resource usage, with concrete recommendations on indexes, projections, and rewrites to make them faster and cheaper.
From connected to optimized in three steps
No agents on your database, no rip-and-replace. Pulse plugs into what you already run.
1. Connect
Point Pulse at your databases in minutes. The low-signature agent runs in your environment, reads only the metrics it needs, and never sees your data.
2. Analyze
Pulse's AI continuously inspects metrics, logs, queries, and configuration across every database it manages to surface what's wrong, what's wasteful, and what's about to break.
3. Optimize
Get specific, prioritized fixes with the why behind each one. You decide what to apply, with senior engineers on call 24/7 when you want a human in the loop.
Cut Cost. Improve Performance. Eliminate Toil.
Pulse saves you time, effort and money with automated analysis and intelligent recommendations for database optimization. Maintenance tasks that used to take hours are delivered in minutes.
Everything you need to run your databases with confidence
Pulse combines AI-powered automation with expert human support, giving you everything you need to keep every database fast, stable, and cost-efficient
Automated Root-Cause Analysis
Stop spending hours diagnosing database issues. Pulse's AI-powered analysis automatically traces problems to their source, examining metrics, logs, and configuration to pinpoint exactly what went wrong and why. Get from alert to resolution faster than ever.
Continuous Health Assessment
Pulse continuously monitors your databases with automated health checks that detect issues before they impact your operations. Get real-time visibility into performance, resource utilization, and potential bottlenecks.
Actionable Recommendations
Get specific, prioritized recommendations for optimizing your databases. Pulse doesn't just identify issues—it tells you exactly what to do, why it matters, and how to implement fixes. Save hours of troubleshooting with clear, actionable guidance.
Intelligent Alerts
Receive smart, context-aware alerts that cut through the noise. Pulse prioritizes issues based on severity and impact, ensuring you focus on what truly matters. Integrate with your existing notification systems via Slack, email, or PagerDuty.
24/7 Expert Support
Access a team of senior database experts whenever you need them. Whether it's a critical incident at 2 AM or strategic guidance on architecture, our specialists with 15+ years of experience are available around the clock to help you succeed.
Built for your team, and the agents they build with
Pulse meets you where you work: a polished UI for your team, a full API and MCP server for builders, and real-time signals your AI coding agents can trust.
Sleek UI for Teams
A clean, fast dashboard. Health, recommendations, costs, and alerts in one place.
APIs & MCP for Builders
A full REST API and an MCP server. Wire Pulse into your workflows, CI, and tools.
Signals for Agents
Wire Pulse into Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor over MCP — agents reason from your real database, not guesses.
