Sixta in use across all your teams
Sixta is fluid, it works across teams and tools. It keeps database integrity front and centre from development onwards, so engineers can focus on the work that matters most. It flows across discipline silos and into the tools teams already use, giving developers, SREs, platform teams, DBAs and DBREs a shared, trusted view of what’s happening, and clear actions inside their existing workflows.
No more dashboards
Sixta reports and takes instructions in the incident spaces you have already established. No more dashboards, no more data overload.
For developers and CI/CD
When developers ship schema changes or new features, Sixta watches how those changes affect real workloads, catching problematic queries and risky migrations before they become incidents. It turns opaque performance issues into concrete feedback in the same places developers already work, so fixing a slow endpoint or a risky migration feels like just another pull-request iteration.
SixtaHeads up on PR #482 (add-orders-status-index). CodeRabbit and Greptile both passed it, but I’ve flagged it Critical. The migration adds an index on orders(status) with a plain CREATE INDEX, which takes an exclusive lock and blocks writes on a 40M-row table: roughly 8 minutes of stalled writes in production.
DeveloperThe other checks didn’t catch that. How do I fix it?
SixtaThey review the code, I check what it does to a live database. Switch to CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY, outside a transaction block, and it builds without locking writes. I’ve posted the corrected migration on the PR.
For SREs and platform teams
For SREs and platform teams, Sixta becomes the shared lens on database health across services, environments and regions. It helps separate genuine degradation from expected load (like batch jobs), suggests concrete mitigations, and keeps incident context aligned across monitoring, paging and chat.
SixtaError rate in orders-service spiked at 03:12 UTC due to timeouts on PostgreSQL. The primary is at 92% CPU, driven by one report query scanning 48M rows.
SREWhat’s the fastest safe action?
SixtaOption A: kill the report query now to restore headroom; low risk. Option B: temporarily raise the connection limit by 20% and enable a 5-second query timeout; moderate risk. Recommend Option A.
For DBAs and DBREs
DBAs and DBREs use Sixta to stay ahead of growth and change, not just react to incidents. It surfaces drifting query patterns, unsafe migrations and missing indexes as a prioritised backlog, with enough context to decide whether to tune, refactor or redesign.
SixtaThe customers table is trending towards 2× growth in the next 90 days; several ad-hoc reporting queries already run longer than 8 seconds.
DBREShow me the top three structural fixes.
Sixta1) Add a composite index on (region, created_at) for reporting queries. 2) Move monthly exports to a read replica to avoid impacting OLTP. 3) Introduce a materialised view for active_customers_by_region, refreshed hourly.
