Working in a fast-growing microservice hybrid infrastructure from various perspectives and topics, our team had to overcome challenges when the databases received enormous amounts and a variety of queries, which could slow down or even crash the servers.

This experience was unacceptable as database layer issues can cause slowness or even unresponsiveness of the whole application.
The problems can be very different, starting with enormous amounts of bulk queries and ending with unstructured queries or even queries with infinite loops.

Our team developed a solution that allows us to analyze and monitor what's going on in the database using open-source tooling and provide monitoring capabilities for application engineers to see how their queries perform in real time.
