September was a month of momentum. We focused on problems that frustrate every DBA: deadlocks, incomplete visibility, and cloud deployment quirks. We’ve shipped real-time deadlock monitoring, expanded the weekly reports, and fixed key issues with Releem Agent for RDS.
Beyond the product, our company flag reached Kazbek Mountain (5,047m and one of the highest peaks in the Caucasus). It’s a small but symbolic reminder of how far we’ve come as a team and community.
And while one part of the team was climbing mountains, our co-founders Dmytrii Kochetov and Victor Podkopaev represented at Percona University Yerevan 2025. They shared insights into how LLMs can help with database performance tuning.

Updates to Releem Dashboard
Deadlock Monitoring
After many requests, real-time MySQL and MariaDB deadlock detection has landed (Issue #293). No more hunting through logs. You’ll now see:
- Instant alerts when a deadlock occurs
- A detailed breakdown of conflicting transactions
- Actionable recommendations to prevent recurrence
Read our full deep-dive on deadlock detection to learn more.
New Weekly Reports
Weekly reports now give a richer snapshot of your server health including:
- Expanded Health Checks – System, MyISAM/InnoDB, Memory, Queries/Logs
- A new Security Check summary with severity levels
- Cleaner formatting for quick scanning
Updates to Releem Agent
Resolved AWS Security Hub Alerts
Releem Agent was previously being flagged by AWS Security Hub. The new update corrects those triggers (Issue #415).
Improved EC2 Deployment Documentation
We’ve added guidance for monitoring multiple RDS instances from one EC2 instance. This reduces setup overhead and cuts Fargate resource costs. Read the documentation here.
Stabilized Setup Process
Fixed an issue that caused the Agent to restart MySQL/MariaDB unnecessarily during initial installation. It was annoying everyone and we’re glad it’s no longer a problem (Issue #413)
News You Might Have Missed
Laravel News recently covered a Releem study on how MySQL’s default settings can drag down performance for Laravel apps. It’s a great read if you want to learn more about what’s hiding behind “out-of-the-box” configurations. The Hidden Cost of MySQL Defaults in Laravel Apps.
