Automatic Database Configuration Debugging using Retrieval-Augmented Language Models

Summary: Andromeda uses retrieval-augmented LLMs to diagnose DBMS misconfigurations and propose fixes. A RAG pipeline sources domain-specific context from historical questions, manuals, and telemetry via a heterogeneous retriever and telemetry analysis, beating baselines on real data.
