Database Performance Challenges

Without proper database monitoring, teams struggle with these critical performance bottlenecks:

Slow Database Queries

Applications timing out due to slow database queries, but no visibility into which queries are causing the problem.

"As a database administrator, our app is slow and I suspect it's the database, but I can't identify which queries are the bottleneck."

Database Downtime

Database crashes or becomes unresponsive without warning, causing complete application outages and data loss risks.

"As a platform engineer, our database went down at 2 AM on a Saturday, and we lost $100K in revenue before we could restore it."

No Query Optimization Insights

Queries running inefficiently but no recommendations on indexes, query rewrites, or schema optimizations to improve performance.

"As a backend developer, I know my queries are slow, but I don't know if I need indexes, better joins, or query rewrites."

Replication Lag Issues

Read replicas falling behind primary database, causing stale data and inconsistencies in the application.

"As an architect, our read replicas lag behind by minutes, causing users to see outdated data and breaking our eventual consistency model."

Connection Pool Exhaustion

Application unable to get database connections during peak traffic, leading to failed requests and poor user experience.

"As a DevOps engineer, during high traffic, our connection pool maxes out and new requests fail. We need better connection management."

Lack of Database Performance History

No historical database performance data to identify trends, plan capacity, or compare performance before and after schema changes.

"As a database architect, I need to prove that our schema migration improved performance, but we have no baseline metrics from before the change."

From slow queries to resource bottlenecks - everything you need to optimize database performance

Reduce Production Impact from Database Deadlocks

Automatically capture database deadlock events with detailed context, including affected databases, hosts, tables, and involved processes. Quickly understand where contention occurs and identify the statements responsible for blocking and rollback events.

Deadlock event list

Understand Performance Through Query Samples

Inspect representative query samples enriched with execution time, database, host, user, and wait-event context. Focus analysis on the queries that drive latency and cost, without sifting through unnecessary data.
