holistic.dev scans SQL source code to catch performance, security, and architecture issues in PostgreSQL databases without needing a live connection.
holistic.dev is a database optimization service that analyzes SQL source code to catch performance, security, and architecture problems before they reach production. Rather than connecting to a live database, it works purely from the DDL and DML statements in a project's codebase.
The tool positions itself as a privacy-friendly alternative to database monitoring tools that require direct database access, since it never sees actual data or requires installing anything inside the database itself.
At its core, holistic.dev runs more than 1,300 rules against a codebase's SQL to detect issues across three dimensions: performance, cost, and security. It can identify unused columns, indexes, tables, and views, along with potential constraint violations and broader architectural problems.
Because analysis happens at the statement and project level, teams can generate shareable reports via personal links for collaboration, and receive automatic notifications when new analysis rules are added to the platform.
holistic.dev does not publish pricing on its website. The service is positioned for cloud providers, database consulting firms, and retail (individual company) customers, each of which is directed to contact the vendor for pricing tailored to their use case.
The company states that onboarding takes about 10 minutes to get started, since no database connection or special installation is required, only access to the SQL source code being analyzed.
No. It only analyzes the SQL source code (DDL/DML) of your project and never connects directly to the database or its data.
PostgreSQL 13 is supported today. MySQL 8 and Snowflake support are planned for future releases.
Pricing is not published; the vendor asks cloud providers, consulting firms, and retail customers to get in touch for pricing.
The vendor states it takes about 10 minutes to get started, since no database connection or software installation is required.
It flags performance, cost, and security issues including unused columns, indexes, tables, views, and potential constraint or architecture problems.
