Welcome to DBGorilla

DBGorilla monitors your PostgreSQL databases and turns what it finds into recommendations.

Get started

Do these in order.

1. Create an account: sign up for DBGorilla SaaS.
2. Install the CLI: install dbgorilla, sign in, and check your setup.
3. Your first database: connect a throwaway PostgreSQL database on your own machine and see your own queries in DBGorilla.

Every section

• Connect a database: start at Choose your setup, which sends you to the page for where your database runs. The section also covers preparing PostgreSQL and MySQL, and checking that the collector is working.
• Use DBGorilla: a guide to each part of the app. Published guides appear in the sidebar, including Experiments and Sandboxes.
• Integrations: connect your editor or another MCP client, and set up reviews of GitHub pull requests and GitLab merge requests.
• Administer: invite your team, assign roles, and run, upgrade or remove collectors.
• Security: how DBGorilla handles your data, and the status of each control.
• Reference: supported databases, CLI commands, collector configuration and commands, and Helm chart values.
• Troubleshooting: fixes listed by symptom, for the collector, empty pages, and your editor and MCP connection.
