Key insight: Cloud database management is the new DevOps tax that nobody budgets for — teams would pay $100-300/month to avoid a single wasted $2k/month query.

The Problem

Data teams run thousands of queries daily but rarely know which ones are costing the most money. Cloud databases (Postgres, MySQL on AWS/GCP/Azure) charge by compute time, and a single poorly-optimized query can cost $500+/month. Teams lack visibility into query cost attribution.

Target Audience

Startup CTOs, data engineers at mid-size companies (50-500 people), and anyone managing Postgres/MySQL on managed cloud platforms who have monthly database bills over $1k.

Why Now?

Database costs are spiraling as companies scale; AI tools make parsing logs and generating optimization recommendations trivial; CTOs are actively hunting cost-cutting tools post-2024 VC tightening.

What's Missing

Existing solutions require manual query profiling or are buried in cloud provider dashboards. No standalone tool flags 'this query costs $50/day and has a 2-second execution time' with actionable fixes.
