I built QueryTuner because the tools that exist for SQL performance are built for DBAs

They cost $400/month, require installing an agent with database credentials, and assume you already know what you're looking for. That leaves nothing for the developer who just needs to understand why their query is slow.

QueryTuner has no database connection, no credentials, no installation. Paste your SQL, select your dialect, get back in under a second:

- Which patterns are causing performance problems and why, in plain English - A rewritten query with the slow parts fixed - The exact index to create for your database (CONCURRENTLY for PostgreSQL, ALTER TABLE for MySQL, NOLOGGING for Oracle, ONLINE=ON for SQL Server) - A shareable report URL

Findings are labeled with three evidence tiers: - Deterministic — always applies regardless of data - Schema-verified — verified against your DDL - Needs runtime evidence — pattern-based, confirm with EXPLAIN before creating

Paste your CREATE TABLE statements alongside the query to get schema-verified recommendations with real table names instead of placeholders.

Supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, SQLite.

API: https://api.querytuner.com/docs

Built solo on 30 min/day. Would especially value feedback from Oracle and SQL Server users.

    The no-credentials, paste-and-analyze approach is a meaningful departure from the DBA-oriented tools you described. Curious whether developers trust the recommendations more when the evidence tier is shown explicitly.

      Sorry for the slow reply, Aryan - this one slipped through.

      Yeah, it's real - every suggestion gets tagged as either "always true", "checked against your schema", or "best guess, not confirmed" and I show that badge right on it. Honestly I don't hard numbers on whether it moves the needle on trust, but from watching people use it, it seems to help most with skeptics - once they can see which suggestions are provable vs. which are educated guesses, they stop treating the tool like a black box. Whether that gets them to actually add the index is a different question I can't fully answer yet.

      Curious if you're asking because you are weighing something similar for your own product?

        That’s useful to hear. I’d be interested in continuing the conversation beyond the thread — would you be open to sharing the best email to reach you on?

          Absolutely! Send me your LinkedIn profile I would send a request since I am not yet allowed to share links including email.

            I don’t use LinkedIn. Is there another way to connect, or could you share an email address privately?
