About DBtune
DBtune is an innovative AI startup based in the vibrant Malmö area, a short train ride away from Copenhagen, Denmark, and Lund and Helsingborg, Sweden. Since our founding in 2020, our dedicated team of engineers and Ph.D. researchers has been on a mission to revolutionize cloud and database systems using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
DBtune's core technology is a fully automated service designed to optimize databases.

By utilizing DBtune, users enhance their databases' performance while significantly reducing cloud costs and environmental impact.
We have garnered support from institutional and angel investors in the EU and the US, along with pre-seed funding from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation (KAW). With a growing customer base, DBtune is poised to expand its influence even further, scaling our operations to bring AI-driven database optimization to a broader audience.
