Stop Trusting Mock Databases
Can fake data predict production issues? Most often, the answer is no.
Mock setups tend to hide issues like schema drifts, data shape mismatches, latency, slow queries, and other real-world failure points until it’s too late. The only way to deploy code with confidence is by testing with production-grade data.
When One Slow Request Breaks Everything
It’s not always the big failures that take systems down. It’s the tiny, unnoticed delays.
One slow query can ripple through your stack, stalling transactions and breaking user trust. Tail latency exposes these silent threats before they cost you.

Breaking Through Storage Bottlenecks
Is your database slow, or is the underlying storage the cause of the delays?
Databases often hit walls long before their compute resources run out. However, pinpointing and fixing these bottlenecks isn’t easy. But there is a typical low-hanging fruit: the storage layer. Left out of the investigation way too often.
