IndexPilot
Make a Postgres index prove itself before merge
Stop guessing which PostgreSQL indexes deserve to ship. IndexPilot checks proposals against real usage and existing indexes, helping you avoid wasted write, storage, and maintenance costs. Try it database-free in 60 seconds. It never changes your database.
I read an article about how DNA can store large volumes of data and wondered why nobody had built a database with it. I soon understood that it was too complex and slow for a practical database. I kept the idea, and while trying to optimize the database for an algorithmic trading system I am building, I accidentally built IndexPilot. The idea pivoted toward indexing and efficiency.
IndexPilot is a free, open-source, read-only CLI that checks proposed PostgreSQL indexes against workload evidence before merge. @krshs90 joined the journey and contributed to the project. Please try the 60-second database-free review and tell me what worked, what failed, and what evidence you still need. If you use it, I would also value your honest review. If you are an expert in DB please join the project as contributor or for feedback and suggestions on github.
Thank you!

Hi Product Hunters 👋
I read an article about how DNA can store large volumes of data and wondered why nobody had built a database with it. I soon understood that it was too complex and slow for a practical database. I kept the idea, and while trying to optimize the database for an algorithmic trading system I am building, I accidentally built IndexPilot. The idea pivoted toward indexing and efficiency.
