Product managers may face many challenges along the way. They would like to focus on their products and never be limited by technology. However, it’s not as straightforward as possible. If you’d like to learn how not to get slowed down by your database - read on.
Avoid Rollbacks
One of the biggest impediments to performance is when we need to stop and revert our changes. This can happen when deploying wrong changes to the database, especially with slow schema migrations or wrong configuration.
Metis lets you avoid rollbacks by checking or your designs before deploying them to production. Metis can analyze queries and immediately tell if they are safe to be run in production. Metis integrates with developers' environments, captures execution plans, and analyzes whether queries are utilizing indexes, applying appropriate filtering, and employing techniques that will ensure efficient performance in production.
Metis analyzes schema migrations and protects your databases from downtime and data loss. Most importantly, all of that is in the developers’ environments very early in the pipelines. This enables you to fix issues quickly and avoid expensive rollbacks later on.
Let Your Developers Work Independently
Developers may be slowed down when they need to interact with other teams to get access to logs or troubleshoot the database. It’s hard to move fast when one can’t just do things. Developers easily become frustrated when they are not enabled to take end-to-end ownership.
Metis lets your developers move fast by automating their tasks. It analyzes live queries and database performance, detects anomalies, and notifies you and your developers about things that don’t work well.
Metis thoroughly analyzes your schemas, indexes, tables, configurations, and query performance, along with all related components. This provides your developers with the confidence to make changes, manage deployments, and address troubleshooting effectively. However, when things break, Metis automatically troubleshoots the issues and provides developers with actionable insights.
Plan Your Product Reliably
Technical challenges can disrupt any product, and a slow database can have an immediate ripple effect across the organization, directly impacting business metrics. Developers are then tasked with troubleshooting and optimizing database queries, often disrupting regular sprint work and complicating future planning.
The right tools can make this process much smoother. Developers need visibility into the underlying operations of the database to effectively assess queries. Access to execution plans, statistics, database configurations, and other factors affecting performance is crucial for maintaining an optimized system.
