Your database,
proactively optimized.
DBO continuously analyzes your production database traffic, finds risks before they become incidents, and shows your team what to do next.

If you own the database, you find out about its problems the worst possible way.
Latency and timeout complaints
User complains on latency spikes and timeouts are how most teams first learn there's a database problem.
3 AM on-call alerts
Engineers start every incident from scratch. Root cause is invisible without continuous query-level visibility.
Hidden slow queries
A missing index on a table that grew too large. A query that was fine in staging, now it’s breaking database under real load.
Database Optimizer finds them before your users do.
Everything it takes to catch
issues before they become incidents.
DBO — part of the CAST AI platform — watches your production traffic read-only, tells you what's about to hurt you, and gives you the fix before it turns into an incident.
Continuous query-level visibility
You see every regression the moment it appears in production traffic — so you find the problem before your users open a ticket.
Index & query recommendations
You get the exact index or rewrite to ship, backed by before/after query plans — no more guessing during a 3 AM incident.
In-memory cache
You cut tail latency and CPU headroom risk without touching application code or planning a migration.
Connection pooling
You stop connection storms from taking production down, and drop the Proxy line item while you're at it.
Three patterns.
Three immediate wins.

One recommended path from reactive firefighting to proactive optimization. Expand later, when you're ready to actively reduce load.
Recommended starting point
Performance Advisor
Start here. A lightweight, read-only agent that observes your real production traffic and hands you the fixes — zero risk, nothing changes automatically.
- Read-only: nothing is rewritten or rerouted
- Continuous query-level visibility from day one
- Index and rewrite recommendations with before/after plans
“Will this touch our production database?” Engineering leads asked first, too.
Read-only to start, no code changes, no migrations — here is what teams who own the database say after running DBO in production.
“One of the toughest challenges with database caching is cache invalidation. But with Cast AI's DBO, it just works right out of the box. If you're thinking about adding a cache, DBO is an easy choice.”
Julius Á Rógvi Biskopstø
Co-Founder / CTO, Flowcore
“Autonomous caching is one of the most effective ways to optimize read-heavy workloads, and Cast AI's approach is brilliantly executed. DBO removes the need for manual tuning while delivering real-time performance gains.”

Sr. Director of Engineering, Akamai
Your database, proactively optimized.
We started with that promise, showed you the problem, walked through how DBO solves it, and backed it with teams already running it in production. The ball's in your court.
