Postgres performance monitoring for ops teams

Create a specialized monitoring tool that detects Postgres prefetch issues before they cause outages. For database administrators running critical systems.

Why now

As Postgres adoption grows, niche performance issues are emerging that general monitoring tools miss.

Database outages often stem from subtle configuration issues like problematic prefetch settings. Current monitoring tools don't catch these until it's too late.

Build a Postgres-specific monitor that tracks unusual query patterns and warns about risky configurations. Include automated remediation suggestions.

Cloud providers and enterprises would pay to prevent costly downtime. Offer both self-hosted and SaaS versions.

MVP could be a set of curated Grafana dashboards with specific alerts.

The risk is convincing ops teams to adopt yet another monitoring tool.
