Cloud SQL Insights, a database observability tool has just arrived in GCP.
With Insights, developers can quickly inspect and address database performance issues in Cloud SQL, allowing for faster iteration on applications freeing DBAs to work on non-development tasks.
Insights brings developers self-service monitoring and diagnosis tooling so they can proactively prevent query performance problems.
Availability
Insights is currently available for Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL.
How Insights works
Insights complements APM and observability tools by providing database metrics through the open standard OpenTelemetry and Cloud Monitoring and Cloud Trace APIs. This makes it easy to do end-to-end tracing in your system, from the database up to the application layer.
Using Cloud Insights
Once Insights is installed, developers are able to see metrics and inspect queries directly from GCP:
