As organizations adopt DevOps practices, application developers are increasingly expected to not only build applications but also manage and operate the databases they use. This added responsibility can prolong the application development process and time to market, primarily because developers must often manage and operate these critical systems without specialized database expertise.
To help, we introduced AI-assisted troubleshooting for Cloud SQL and AlloyDB at Google Cloud Next 25. This feature is a game-changer, equipping developers with the self-sufficiency needed for effective database operations, allowing them to manage and troubleshoot databases confidently even without deep database expertise.
Imagine a database service that can proactively predict query performance issues, identify the root-cause and recommend actionable solutions — this is precisely what AI-assisted troubleshooting offers. AI-assisted troubleshooting predicts potential problems like slow queries, and provides actionable recommendations before they escalate into critical issues. AI-assisted troubleshooting works across Cloud SQL for MySQL, Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL, Cloud SQL for SQL Server and AlloyDB, and is integrated with Cloud SQL Studio simplifying the process of applying the recommendations. With assisted query optimization and automated performance monitoring, developers can channel their energy into application innovation rather than database maintenance and troubleshooting.
AI-assisted troubleshooting addresses database challenges head-on by leveraging the power of generative AI and machine learning. It provides automatic identification of hotspots, intelligent situational analyses that quickly identify root causes, and shares prescriptive remedial paths. With AI-assisted troubleshooting, you can:
- Identify inefficient queries, potential resource bottlenecks, and other performance issues before they impact your applications
- Get clear, actionable recommendations to optimize database performance, including indexing strategies, partitioning suggestions, and more
- Execute prescribed steps easily thanks to integration with Cloud SQL Studio
