The demands of modern software development are high. We're expected to deliver quickly while maintaining uninterrupted system availability. As a platform engineer, you're likely aware of the challenges in balancing speed with accuracy. Developers often find themselves overwhelmed by the complexity of the systems they work on. They may not have a deep understanding of all the details, lack confidence in deploying changes, or be unsure how to address issues that arise in production.
But what if there was a way to support them? Imagine if your developers could make code changes, deploy with confidence, and easily troubleshoot problems. This would empower you, as a platform engineer, to increase team velocity and accelerate progress. It would enable rapid product changes and faster feature development. Continue reading to discover how Metis can help you achieve all of this.
Improve Their Confidence
Confidence arises from knowing what to do and how to do it. Developers might feel uncertain about their designs, code changes, and database modifications. To address this, we need to provide them with tools that validate the correctness of their actions.
Metis evaluates queries and instantly determines whether they are safe to execute in a production environment. It seamlessly integrates with developers' workflows, captures execution plans, and provides insights on whether the queries utilize indexes, apply proper filtering, and employ techniques that ensure optimal performance in production.
Metis evaluates schema migrations to safeguard your databases against downtime and data loss. Crucially, this protection is embedded within developers' environments early in the pipeline, allowing you to identify and resolve issues promptly, enabling faster iteration.
Metis examines the interactions between your applications and databases, providing automated reviews and validation to ensure your developers' designs are correct and robust. It analyzes table schemas, indexes, configurations, extensions, and all other factors that could impact performance.
Ease Troubleshooting
Metis also extends its coverage to your CI/CD pipelines, automatically analyzing all your tests to ensure they are comprehensive. It provides feedback on your pull requests, offering actionable insights before deployment. This allows your developers to be alerted to potential risks and dangerous changes before they reach production.
Once deployed, Metis continuously monitors your databases. It analyzes live queries and database performance, detects anomalies, and promptly notifies you and your developers of any issues that may arise.
Metis thoroughly examines your schemas, indexes, tables, configurations, query performance, and all other critical components. This empowers your developers with the confidence they need to make changes, manage deployments, and troubleshoot effectively.
