Database Caching, Connection Pooling, and AI Index Recommendations in One Tool

Cast AI has launched Database Optimizer (DBO), a tool designed to reduce the operational burden often placed informally on engineers responsible for database performance, reliability, and troubleshooting. DBO’s read-only Performance Advisor identifies and prioritizes optimization opportunities such as missing indexes and inefficient queries based on potential database time savings, offering AI-generated rewrites and execution-plan comparisons for human review without changing schemas automatically. Its proxy provides connection pooling to prevent database connection exhaustion during application autoscaling and autonomous caching that observes writes to invalidate cached data, aiming to reduce read-heavy database load, latency, and infrastructure costs. A centralized dashboard combines health, query, connection, cache, and recommendation data to help teams diagnose issues and prioritize fixes. The platform supports PostgreSQL and MySQL, including Aurora, across AWS and Google Cloud, runs within customer infrastructure on Kubernetes or Amazon ECS, and uses anonymized query templates for rewrite analysis.
