OtterTune is closed but don’t let your database optimization slide

We were saddened to learn that OtterTune ceased operations last month. OtterTune has been a presence in the database tuning space for many years, and they've played a role in shaping the landscape we all navigate today. Their work has inspired us, and we're grateful for the healthy competition with Ottertune that pushed us both to be better. Our thoughts go out to the founders, employees, and customers of OtterTune during this time of transition, and wish them all the best in their future endeavors. To OtterTune's users who are seeking an alternative, we understand your challenge.

About OtterTune

OtterTune is a database optimization service that uses machine learning to analyze database configurations settings, indexes and queries, and provide recommendations on tuning, helping organizations enhance performance and reduce costs. It was founded by Dr. Andy Pavlo, Dr. Dana Van Aken, and Bohan Zhang and originated from research at Carnegie Mellon University. OtterTune was officially launched in 2021 and supported Amazon RDS MySQL and PostgreSQL, providing performance optimization as a service and adjusting the database settings dynamically.

We understand that many database administrators and developers who relied on OtterTune are now searching for a reliable solution that meets their needs.
