Developers often want to own the stuff they work with. This gives them many benefits - they don’t need to speak to other teams, they can prioritize their work, and they can optimize the things they work on by introducing better tools and processes. It’s hard for them to do their work when they aren’t the owners. Unfortunately, this is common with databases. Developers don’t own their database engines and struggle with moving fast with all the work on their plates. What if they could own their database? What if they didn’t need to speak to other teams? Read on to understand how to achieve that.
Make Developers True Owners By Giving Them Tools
To make developers owners, they need to understand how to optimize the queries they deal with. They need to have the tools that can let them change the code with confidence. They need solutions that can analyze if their designs are correct, if the queries are fast enough, and if the schema changes won’t cause a data loss.
Metis covers all of that. Metis analyzes particular queries and provides actionable insights on how to improve the performance;
Metis integrates with CI/CD and analyzes the performance of the schema changes:
Metis analyzes the database designs and provides remarks about how to improve table schemas or indexes:
Developers need to understand if their databases are working correctly. They need to have live database-oriented metrics showing the status of the databases.
Just bringing the data is not enough. Tools need to reason automatically and provide answers instead of raw data. Metis gives all of that by connecting dots from all parts of the SLDLC to explain how to make things better. Metis can hypothesize about indexes, query rewrites, and configuration changes, and can verify these ideas automatically:
Let Developers Work On Their Own
The biggest time-wasters are meetings and synchronous communication. Developers need to be able to work independently on all the parts of their databases. Metis lets them achieve that.
Metis monitors the database and alerts the developers whenever there is something wrong.
Not only does Metis provide alerts, but also gives the context and reasoning showing how to fix the issues.
Thanks to that, developers can deal with the issues entirely on their own. They don’t need to talk to other teams or ask for details or metrics. They can fix everything independently.
Use Metis and Unleash the Power of Your Developers
Developers can own their databases. They can solve all the issues and deploy things fast. They need to have tools that can analyze database designs, query performance, and suggest improvements. These tools need to automate the reasoning and provide actionable insights instead of raw data. Metis handles all of that and lets the developers own their databases and talk less with other teams. Use Metis and unleash the power of your developers.
