Every managed Postgres provider stops at recommending indexes. SelfHost shadow-tests and executes them, with automatic rollback if query performance drops after creation.

observability

Proactive Monitoring

Query regression detection, anomaly alerts, and growth predictions bundled into your plan. No pganalyze at $500/mo, no Datadog at $70/host/mo, no separate tools to manage.
