Prompt to Performance Speeding Up Database Administration with AI and Claude Code
summary
A Claude.mds skill connects to EKS, RDS and Kubernetes, runs GitHub CLI and DataDog MCP queries, and exposes slash commands that automate schema checks, Flyway validation and PR creation. A failed migration is diagnosed and corrected automatically, adding missing columns in 15 seconds vs hours and pushing a PR; cost is controlled by choosing models (switching Opus to Sonnet cuts cost to a quarter). Built guardrails and pre-check scripts prevent accidental writes; iterative testing in staging proves the workflow.
