Hey indie hackers! 👋
I’ve been building DBAudit, a tool that helps devs audit their databases — think detecting missing indexes, unoptimized queries, unused tables, etc. It’s been live for a while and people seem to like how it just gets to the point.
But I realized something: most tools tell you what’s wrong, but not why it’s wrong — and definitely not how to fix it.
So I just added a new educational layer to DBAudit.
Now when a problem is detected, the app explains:
What the issue actually means
Why it’s a problem
How to solve it
And even gives example code to fix it 💡
My goal is to make DBAudit not just a dev tool, but a way to learn better database practices while you work.
You shouldn’t need to Google “why is SELECT * bad?” for the 100th time. 😅
Would love feedback or ideas from anyone who’s struggled with DB performance or wants to make their tech stack more self-explanatory. Drop me a comment or shoot me a message!
Happy building,
