How microservice architectures have shaped the usage of database technologies

This Datadog article highlights how to use `EXPLAIN ANALYZE` within Datadog's Database Monitoring to quickly pinpoint the root cause of slow PostgreSQL queries. By integrating `EXPLAIN ANALYZE` output directly into Datadog, users can visualize query plans and identify performance bottlenecks—like full table scans or missing indexes—without needing to manually run and interpret the command. This streamlines debugging and allows for faster optimization of database performance.
