Same DBRE. Your problem.
Whether you're the one debugging at 3am, the one getting paged, or the one explaining the outage to the board, SIXTA changes what your day looks like.
Stop doing the same investigation for the third time this month
SIXTA handles the repetitive investigation and tuning work so you can focus on architecture, migrations, and strategy. You approve every change.
It connects directly to your MySQL and PostgreSQL instances, understands schemas, query plans, and workload patterns, and traces symptoms to specific root causes at the SQL level. The analysis lands in Slack, not another dashboard you need to keep open.
As SIXTA proves itself, you can unlock autonomous actions for safe, level-1 and level-2 DBRE work: adding indexes, killing runaway queries, adjusting connection pools. Each action type is individually gated. You stay in control.
Incident root cause analysis
From symptom to specific query, table, and fix in minutes. Not "CPU is high." More like "unindexed JOIN on orders.user_id causing full table scan in OrderService.processPayment()."
Proactive degradation detection
Spots patterns too gradual for threshold alerts. A query getting 2% slower each week. A connection pool trending toward capacity. Gives you time to fix things during business hours.
Knowledge capture
When you go on holiday, your diagnostic intuition doesn't go with you. SIXTA retains institutional knowledge that's usually locked in one person's head.
Symptom: CPU 94%, replication lag 12s
Source: Full table scan in
OrderService.processPayment()
Table: orders, missing index on user_id
Impact: 3.2s avg query time
Fix:
ADD INDEX idx_orders_user_created
(user_id, created_at)
Expected: 94% query time reduction
Savings: $47K/yr

Fewer pages. Faster triage. Less finger-pointing.
SIXTA embeds in your SRE workflow — runbooks as policies, evidence-backed proposals, full audit trail. It's an extra pair of hands, not a black box.
When an incident fires, SIXTA has already traced it to the database layer (or ruled it out), identified the specific root cause, and delivered the analysis to your Slack channel. Your on-call engineer gets an answer, not another alert to investigate.
SIXTA runs inside your infrastructure and connects directly to the databases. No dependency on a separate observability platform. No additional SaaS data pipeline to manage. It handles level-1 and level-2 DBRE work so your on-call rotation gets lighter.
On-call incident triage
SIXTA delivers root cause analysis within minutes of an anomaly. Your on-call engineer reviews and acts instead of spending an hour investigating.
Eliminate the "is it the app or the DB?" question
SIXTA correlates database symptoms with specific queries and services. When the answer is "it's the database," it tells you exactly which query and why.
Reduce on-call burden
As SIXTA handles more diagnostic work autonomously, your on-call rotation gets lighter. Fewer 3am deep-dives. More incidents resolved before they need a human.

Your most expensive engineers are doing the cheapest work
SIXTA gives your existing team the capacity of two additional senior DBREs, without the six-month recruiting cycle. Every action is traceable and compliant.
Your senior DBAs cost $180K+ a year. They spend 60% of their time on incident response and reactive troubleshooting — level-1 and level-2 DBRE work that follows repeatable diagnostic patterns. Meanwhile, the strategic projects that actually move the business forward sit in the backlog because nobody has time.
SIXTA absorbs the diagnostic toil. Every recommendation comes with measurable context: query time reduction, incident frequency, capacity reclaimed, and priority ranking across your environment. Pair that with your infrastructure costs and you can report on database reliability improvements in language the CFO understands, not just MTTR charts.
MTTR reduction
Database incident resolution drops from hours to minutes. Fewer customer-facing outages. Fewer "we're aware of the issue" status page updates.
Team productivity and retention
Invert the ratio: 60% incident response becomes 60% strategic work. Junior engineers can resolve complex issues with SIXTA-guided analysis. On-call burnout drops.
Quantifiable infrastructure savings
Every optimisation recommendation includes measurable impact — query time reduction, incident frequency, hours reclaimed. Pair that with your infrastructure costs and the board-ready number writes itself.
Incidents analysed: 34
Avg resolution time: 8 min (was 52 min)
Autonomous fixes: 12 of 34
Top optimisations applied:
1. Orders index: $47K/yr saved
2. Session cleanup: $23K/yr saved
3. Report refactor: $18K/yr saved
Total quarterly impact: $88K saved
SIXTA cost: $4.8K
ROI: 18x
