What it is
pganalyze is a PostgreSQL monitoring and observability service for production workloads, with tools for investigating query behavior and database health. It follows slowdowns for individual queries over time and records execution plans for slow queries. Index Advisor identifies missing indexes and highlights indexes that may be unused. VACUUM Advisor provides workload-aware guidance for Postgres autovacuum. Alerts & Check-Up detects common database problems and can notify users through email, Slack, or PagerDuty. The service offers API, Linux, web, and self-hosted deployment options, and installation guidance covers managed providers such as AWS RDS, Aurora, Azure Flexible Server, Google Cloud SQL, AlloyDB, Heroku Postgres, Crunchy Bridge, Aiven, Supabase, and Neon. An open-source collector sends metrics and metadata snapshots. Its recommended restricted role cannot read user data or modify the database. Pricing starts at $149/mo, with a free trial and no free plan.
