DBmarlin: Next-Generation Database Monitoring

👋 Hello hunters! After 12 months of planning, coding, testing it’s finally ready: DBmarlin, next-generation database performance monitoring for everyone. Whether you’re a DBA, Developer, DevOps, SRE, manager, load tester or any role needing visibility into database performance, then DBmarlin can help. DBmarlin monitors database performance and tracks changes so you can quickly and easily understand and get to the root cause of database performance problems. DBmarlin helps databases run fast and stay fast. And you can start for free! We support Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL and PostgreSQL including Cloud database services such as Amazon RDS, Azure SQL and others. We also support MariaDB, Percona, Vitesse, Amazon Aurora, TimeScaleDB and several other Open source databases based on MySQL or PostgreSQL. And we already have more supported databases in the works! 📖 Story The team behind DBmarlin came together in 1998 while working for Precise software, which was one of the first tools to monitor Oracle databases. More recently, the team successfully brought DBTuna to market before eventually being sold to AppDynamics (Cisco). In February last year while at a conference in Dubrovnik, we had the idea to create a next generation database performance monitoring tool aimed not just at DBAs, but anyone who needs to understand database performance. On return to the UK, we excitedly started to research and plan what that would look like. A week later we were in the first national lockdown in the UK. What better way to spend lockdown than designing a new product? The team has worked on this with energy, passion and determination to build something great. We’ve had great feedback so far from early customers and are super excited to share this. 🚀 Now Since launching in December and getting our first customers, we’ve had a lot of valuable feedback from everyone who has used it so far. In January, we released our first update and then more new features in February and March. We’ll continue to release new features monthly and have a long list of great ideas we want to add. 👉 Features ✅ Monitoring for Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL and more with a common UI ✅ Freemium license so you can start for FREE ✅ Low overhead – Production Safe ✅ Rapid Installation – Under 5 mins ✅ Real time & historical data ✅ Per second granular data ✅ Any device – access from anywhere, any time ✅ Single pane of glass for many databases ✅ Capture SQL and their wait-events ✅ Change detection - parameters, schema changes, explain plans ✅ Time Comparison - see the impact of changes ✅ API - Integrate with other tools 💰 Licensing DBmarlin comes with 1 free license built in which lets you monitor any database instance of your choice. Additional licenses can be purchased as an annual subscription to cover more database instances. ⏳ Next We’ll continue to release new features monthly and will be guided by customer demand. Currently in the works are more database and host metrics, a live view and support for additional database platforms. The goal is to make database performance monitoring and optimisation easily accessible for everyone. 🛠 Making DBmarlin is built using React frontend, Java backend and TimeScaleDB database. It’s a self-hosted solution and you can download DBmarlin for either Windows or Linux and be up and running in 5 minutes. 💖 Thanks Thanks to all the beta testers and early adopters for believing in us and providing much needed encouragement and feedback.
