Why iqtoolkit Exists
After more than a decade of manually diagnosing slow queries, building monitoring dashboards, and tuning database performance in production environments, Giovanni recognized a critical gap: database teams are drowning in metrics but starving for actionable intelligence.
iqtoolkit was created to solve real production challenges — bringing AI-powered insights to database operations without cloud dependencies, vendor lock-in, or privacy compromises. Every feature is built from actual DBA pain points, not theoretical use cases.
The vision: Make AI-powered database intelligence accessible to every operations team—regardless of budget, cloud provider, or infrastructure complexity.
