Who is PMP4PG for?

PMP4PG is designed for anyone who needs deep, actionable visibility into PostgreSQL performance — beyond what basic monitoring tools provide. It is particularly well-suited for the following profiles.

PostgreSQL DBA​

You are responsible for the health, performance and reliability of one or more PostgreSQL instances in production.

PMP4PG helps you:

  • Investigate slow query incidents in real time with the ASH Viewer — see exactly what was running, what was waiting and what was blocking at any point in the last 8 hours
  • Generate detailed AWR reports between two points in time to understand workload changes after a deployment or a traffic spike
  • Identify regressions by comparing load profiles between snapshot windows
  • Monitor vacuum activity, bloat levels, and WAL generation trends to prevent operational issues before they happen
  • Plan capacity based on database size trends over weeks and months

DevOps / SRE​

You manage the platform infrastructure and deployment pipelines, with PostgreSQL as a key dependency.

PMP4PG helps you:

  • Deploy and manage lightweight agents on any PostgreSQL server in your fleet with minimal operational overhead
  • Get a fleet-wide view of all monitored PostgreSQL instances from a single dashboard — statuses, environments, agent health
  • Distinguish production (RUN) from non-production (BUILD) environments across your monitoring scope
  • Receive and act on alerts for critical conditions across the fleet
  • Integrate PMP4PG monitoring into your server provisioning workflow via the agent registration process

Database Architect / Technical Lead​

You design data architectures and are responsible for long-term database sustainability.

PMP4PG helps you:

  • Perform capacity planning with objective, data-driven size and throughput trends
  • Identify systemic performance patterns across the fleet
  • Use AWR reports as a diagnostic foundation when reviewing the impact of schema changes, index strategies or configuration tuning

PostgreSQL Developer​

You develop applications on top of PostgreSQL and need to understand how your queries behave in your database environments.

PMP4PG helps you:

  • Use the ASH Viewer to observe the real-time impact of your application's queries on the database
  • Spot slow or frequently executed queries in Top SQL without needing DBA-level access to raw PostgreSQL internals
  • Monitor the behavior of your application database in BUILD (development/staging) environments with the same tooling used in production

What You Don't Need​

You do not need to be an Oracle DBA to use PMP4PG — although familiarity with Oracle AWR/ASH concepts will help you understand the analytical model faster.

You do not need deep Go or Java knowledge to operate the platform — the agent is distributed as a pre-compiled binary, and the backend is packaged for straightforward deployment.
