## What it is
Inception is a self-hosted MySQL/MariaDB automated operations tool written in C that combines SQL statement auditing, execution, backup, and automatic generation of rollback statements. It acts as an intermediate service that DBAs and automation platforms use to standardize and safely execute SQL changes.

## Use cases
- audit SQL statements before executing them on MySQL
- automatically generate rollback statements for data-changing SQL
- execute reviewed SQL against production MySQL databases
- standardize SQL writing practices across development teams
- reduce manual DBA workload for SQL review and execution
- replicate MySQL data to other databases in real time with Inception Gate

## When to choose
- you need automated SQL review, execution, and rollback in one tool for MySQL/MariaDB
- you are building a database automation platform and need an auditing backend
- your DBA team wants to enforce SQL standards without manual review

## When to avoid
- you use databases other than MySQL or MariaDB
- you need a fully GUI-based database management tool rather than an audit/execution service
- you require actively developed software with frequent releases

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: maintenance
- function: database, security, backup, workflow-automation
- domain: databases, self-hosted
- platform: self-hosted, cli
