Your Systems Are Trying to Tell You Something.
SIXTA speaks their language.
After 25 years in database monitoring, I'm building the intelligence layer
that helps teams spot patterns, prevent problems, and act decisively.
Some see data. We break codes.

Every crisis has a pattern. Most tools just show you noise.
Your databases generate millions of signals every second. Traditional monitoring
amplifies all of them equally—drowning you in dashboards, metrics, and alerts
that tell you everything except what you need to know.
We believe there's a better way. One that traces back to a tradition of
pattern recognition and collaborative intelligence. Where diverse minds come
together to see what others miss.
SIXTA is that tradition, evolved. Built for modern codebreakers
who refuse to accept that any problem is too complex to solve.

Why Your Competition Should Be Worried
While they lose €794K per incident, you'll be preventing them entirely.

The difference intelligence makes:
Traditional Monitoring
"Database CPU at 95%"
"Slow query detected"
"Check your dashboards"
→
SIXTA Intelligence
"Query pattern in OrderService.processPayment() will cause 3-second delays
within 2 weeks. Add composite index (user_id, created_at) to reduce
execution time by 94%. ROI: €47K/year in saved infrastructure."
The Solution
Three tools. One journey.
Signal finds the patterns. Code brings insights to your IDE.
Impact shows the business cost.
From reactive firefighting to proactive intelligence
We've designed a progressive journey that grows with your maturity and ambition.
Start anywhere. Scale at your pace. See results in weeks, not quarters.
Detect
Signal finds patterns. Code surfaces them in your IDE.
Minutes to value, not months.
Measure
Add Impact to see the full picture. Connect performance to dollars
and business outcomes.
Improve
Build trust with a verifiable ledger. Track every optimization,
prove every dollar saved.
Automate
Close the loop. Safe, tested PRs for common fixes.
More time for problems that need human creativity.
The Tools
Built for teams that think differently
Three products that work independently but shine together.
SIXTA Signal
The core intelligence engine
Connects to your database monitoring data. Uses pattern recognition to find
anomalies, identify root causes, and deliver specific SQL-level fixes.
No more dashboard archaeology.
SIXTA Code
Intelligence in your IDE
VS Code extension that brings Signal's insights directly into your workflow.
See performance impacts, get optimization hints, act on problems—all without
leaving your editor.
SIXTA Impact
FinOps for engineering
Connects technical metrics to business reality. See dollar costs, customer
impact, and ROI for every optimization. Turn "technical debt" into
CFO-friendly business cases.
The Story
25 years learning. Now teaching machines.
My journey from seeing database problems to finally solving them.
1997
10s of DBs
The Beginning
I started when databases were simpler but monitoring was blind
"I knew we needed to see what's happening"
2008
1000s of DBs
Percona
Early employee, I helped hundreds of teams scale
"I saw every team facing the same patterns"
2015
100Ks of DBs
VividCortex
I helped build monitoring from scratch
"I realized metrics aren't enough - we need understanding"
2020
Millions
SolarWinds
I led product at enterprise scale
"I learned even the best monitoring just shows problems faster"

A note from the founder
I'm Ewen Fortune. After 25 years helping teams at Percona, VividCortex, and SolarWinds tackle their toughest
database challenges, I'm building SIXTA to finally solve the pattern recognition problem that's plagued our industry.
I'm personally involved with every founding partner. This isn't about selling software—it's about building
the tool we've all been waiting for. Together, we'll turn overwhelming complexity into clear signals.
If you're tired of dashboards that show everything except what matters, let's talk.
"Every great leap forward started with a small group of people
who saw what others couldn't. Will you be one of mine?"
