dbtrail Cloud runs the open-source engine you can read — we keep the forensic index alive (disks, backups, upgrades, scaling) so you don't have to. Same code. Same time-travel. None of the babysitting.
The engine is open source — free, unlimited, forever. Cloud is for teams that want us to run it.
dbtrail Cloud operates the MySQL index store — the system of record for every change. The forensic part that needs care, we care for.
Point Cloud at your database — or run a local agent so row data never leaves your network (BYOS). RDS and Aurora work without host access.
The managed index store captures before/after images of every row, streaming over the replication protocol. Nothing installed on your DB host.
Disks, backups, version upgrades, scaling, automated health checks — the operational weight of the forensic record is ours, not yours.
Query AS OF any moment, browse changes in the hosted dashboard, draft reversal SQL, or ask Claude over MCP. Always dry-run first.
Everything below sits on top of the open-source core — managed, multi-tenant, and built for teams.
You never babysit disks or backups. The MySQL system-of-record runs on our infrastructure — provisioned, upgraded, and scaled by us, with automated health checks.
Browse changes with before/after diffs, draft recovery SQL, and manage servers from a hosted web app — nothing to install, reachable from anywhere.
Multiple users with roles — owner, admin, operator, analyst, viewer — plus MFA.
Who-changed attribution links every row event to the MySQL user, session, and connection behind it. This is the paid surface — the open-source console deliberately omits it.
Managed backup schedules and point-in-time recovery, retained in S3. Set a window; we keep the history and the restore path ready.
A hosted MCP endpoint and an API key — that's the whole setup. Ask Claude what changed; recovery answers come back dry-run, never executed.
Drag a binlog into the browser and explore it — no database connection required. Forensics on a file you already have.
Run the agent in your own VPC. Row contents never leave — only metadata reaches dbtrail, over an outbound WebSocket bridge. No inbound ports to open.
No bait and switch. The engine is open source and yours to run. Cloud is the operations and the team surfaces around it.
Apache-2.0, unlimited, forever. Run it anywhere — your laptop, your VPC, your bare metal.
AS OF — query any moment over plain MySQL protocol.Same engine underneath — we run it, and add the surfaces teams need.
The engine is open source — run it free on your own infrastructure, forever. When you need teams, forensics, or managed ops, Cloud is right there.
Cloud is for teams who'd rather not babysit the index store — but the engine is open source and yours, forever. Same code, your infrastructure, no strings. The managed service is also what keeps the lights on here.
