Cloud Database Optimization Implementation
For AWS RDS-specific optimization scenarios, Xata Agent provides dedicated support:
- Indicator integration: Access RDS-specific metrics (e.g. BurstBalance) via Cloudwatch to view cross-tier data on a single console
- Parameter compliance: Automatically recognizes when RDS modifies restricted parameters (e.g., checkpoint_timeout) and provides suggestions for adjusting them through parameter groups.
- capacity planning: Analyze the instance upgrade window based on historical load and recommend the appropriate instance type (e.g. upgrade from db.m5.large to db.m5.xlarge)
- Cost optimization: Identify underutilized resources (e.g., only 30% of allocated 200GB storage is actually used) and prompt to adjust storage configuration
Operational Processes:
1. Configure AWS access keys in .env.production
2. Select "AWS Integration" mode when adding an RDS instance to the console.
3. Enable "CloudWatch Enhanced Metrics" option for more granular monitoring data
