How we made a SQL query optimization agent 59% more accurate using autoresearch and LLM Observability

May 20, 2026 By Datadog In Datadog
Without experiment infrastructure to help you test your LLM applications, every research session starts with the same questions: What have we tried previously? What were the numbers? Which prompt version produced that result? Why did we discard that approach? The answers live in scattered notes, terminal history, and half-remembered conversations. Each handoff between sessions loses context. In practice, iteration can slow down as teams get bogged down in testing and analysis.

A query with several joins and a subquery can produce 20 or more nodes. But the plan gives no visual indication of which node corresponds to each clause in the SQL text. Diagnosing the problem means viewing the plan in one window and the query in another, manually tracing connections between them.
