Schedule - PGConf.DE 2025
The AI DBA agent: Would you trust it to tune your PostgreSQL?
Date: 2025-05-09
Time: 11:10–11:55
Room: Madrid
Level: Intermediate
There’s no doubt that over the past couple of years, AI copilots and assistants have changed the way we research information, how we write code, and how we troubleshoot systems. The latest AI trend is the one of agents, which enjoy more power and autonomy in doing things for us. Imagine that instead of you having to investigate the slow queries and the vacuum process, an AI LLM agent does the monitoring, runs EXPLAIN and interprets the output, checks the settings, etc. and then only notifies you when there is an action to take.
The talk is about our learnings from building such an “AI DBA for PostgreSQL”, how we are trying to “upload” our experience in managing PostgreSQL to it, and what we’ve noticed when we put it in front of live incidents.
