PlanetScale Insights: Advanced query monitoring

This is a great addition to the PlanetScale offerings. One of the scariest things with PS was &quot;I have no clue how many rows are read&#x2F;written&quot; and usage-based plans are hard if you don&#x27;t think in the terms they they charge in. It was just a metric I had never tracked or done much work on. That might be telling of myself and my DB management skillset (or lack there of).<p>So far my usage has been minuscule in comparison to the PS limits. That said, I had been hoping for better tools to identify &quot;problem queries&quot; early instead of just when the billing cycle comes up and so I&#x27;m happy to see work in that direction.<p>Just a random anecdote about PlanetScale:<p>A few weeks ago I realized their databases did not have the timezone database loaded into them and it wasn&#x27;t something I could do myself. I needed this so I could do `CONVERT_TZ` to convert from UTC to the user&#x27;s TZ (for report aggregation). I reached out to support and in about a week they had added it to their roadmap, shipped it, and turned on the new feature for my DBs. They have been a joy to work with so far and I encourage you give them a shot, especially if you are on Aurora Serverless (V1 or V2).

We moved from Aurora Serverless v1 to PlanetScale a couple months ago and love it so far. Tools like this are super helpful for someone like me who is a full stack developer with limited DB expertise to keep our platform running smoothly.<p>Their team is awesome, I requested a couple features in the CLI and they were there within a few hours. Support is responsive and the sales team was super helpful getting everything running and migrated.
