Conversation about Autonomous PostgreSQL: Luigi Nardi, CEO, DBtune

Can a database truly drive itself? In this episode, Mark Linster (Technical Fellow at EDB) sits down with Luigi Nardi, Founder and CEO of DBtune, to discuss the evolution of AI-powered database tuning and the road to a "self-driving" PostgreSQL.

From his academic roots at Stanford and Imperial College to launching a spin-off in Sweden, Luigi explains why traditional rule-based tuning (like PGtune) is no longer enough for today’s complex, high-scale environments.

This video covers:
- How research into probabilistic machine learning in 2017 led to the birth of DBtune
- Why AI beats rules: Why human-designed rules can’t handle the multi-dimensional complexity of modern workloads.
- The "upscaling" trap: How tuning can provide a 10x performance boost and 50% CPU reduction without the high cost of moving to a larger cloud instance.
- Comparing the trajectory of PostgreSQL automation to the 40-year journey of autonomous vehicles.
- What’s next for DBtune, including automated vacuuming, index tuning, and asynchronous I/O.
