Datadog's database monitoring implementation is a bit sloppy. But functional.

This is something only pgAnalyze had for a long time. Hopefully they didnt just steal it.

What do you mean by sloppy but functional?

It lacks focus, pages of different views, with different metrics. Split out arbitrarily. That move around frequently.

It seems like its designed without the guidance of a DB expert, rather just some people who have access to a ton of metrics, but dont know what they are for
