Autopilot With Guardrails Designing AI Assisted Database Operations Without Losing Control
summary
Claims that AI can help diagnostics and sizing but must not autonomously do primary promotion; built a MySQL continuous‑operation stack with a proxy layer, a replicator and a rules engine that runs policy and safety checks in front of any change. Reports that human error causes about 95% of incidents and that AI offers ~82% accuracy in decisions. New product uses a three‑node baseline (moving to two+ witness for lighter deployments) and runs in production.
