"Performance diagnosis is as precise as giving a CT scan to the database!" exclaimed a DBA in amazement after experiencing the visual demonstration of DBdoctor's performance diagnosis at the database carnival.
According to research, database performance issues are the primary pain points faced by DBAs and architects. Traditional database performance diagnosis is alarm-driven, temporary, and difficult to accurately pinpoint the root cause, relying heavily on personal experience for performance troubleshooting. Developed independently by Polylook Technology, the database performance diagnosis product DBdoctor innovatively utilizes eBPF technology to provide insights into the kernel of the database, achieving root cause diagnosis. Through mathematical modeling, it accurately locates issues, breaking away from the traditional reliance on experience, rules, and thresholds for diagnosis. It quantifies the resource consumption of individual SQL queries, mapping resource usage to color areas, enabling intuitive identification of database performance issues and providing optimization suggestions. This approach truly achieves proactive detection of hidden risks, precise diagnosis during incidents, and retrospective tracing afterward, resulting in a hundredfold improvement in efficiency for database performance diagnosis.
Enterprise-level comprehensive performance diagnosis solution
"DBdoctor is the first to focus eBPF technology on databases, aiming to achieve DB AGI (Autonomous General Intelligence)." In the "Database Ecosystem Software" sub-forum on the morning of April 13th, Zhang Jikuan, Minister of the Cloud Platform Development Department of Juhao Technology, delivered a keynote speech titled "DBdoctor: Achieving Intelligent Diagnosis and Optimization of Databases Using eBPF Technology," detailing the technical principles of DBdoctor and typical scenarios in various industries for building observable database platforms to solve performance issues.
