We compare the infrared Dirac-Born-Infeld brane inflation model to observations using a Bayesian analysis. The current data cannot distinguish it from the $\ensuremath{\Lambda}\mathrm{CDM}$ model but is able to give interesting constraints on various microscopic parameters including the mass of the brane moduli potential, the fundamental string scale, the charge or warp factor of throats, and the number of the mobile branes. We quantify some distinctive testable predictions with stringy signatures, such as the large non-Gaussianity, and the large, but regional, running of the spectral index. These results illustrate how we may be able to probe aspects of string theory using cosmological observations.
