DBmarlin for development
Helps developers to monitor and optimise their SQL queries. It provides a single source of the truth for database performance which aids collaboration with other teams.

Database challenges for Developers
Database tuning can be a difficult task and depending on the organisation, the responsibilty may lie with the Database Administrator (DBA) or could be down to the devleoper to make sure that the database and SQL statements are running optimally. With the shift to the Cloud, it is becoming more common for Developers to perform DBA-like tasks such as performance tuning because in some cases there is no DBA any longer. In mid to large organisations, there is more likely to be a DBA but often the relationship between developer and DBA can be tricky. Having clearly defined responsibilties for each role and sharing a common monitoring tool can hugely aid in the communication of database performance issues.
Single tool for multiple DBs
DBmarlin provides a common consistent view of database performance across a variety of different databases whether self-hosted or running in the Cloud.
Event markers for code releases
Have your CI or CD tools send events to our API so you see them on the charts in DBmarlin. This makes it easy to see if a code release had a positive or negative impact on the database.
Statement drill down
Any time you make a code change there is the potential for it to impact on database performance. DBmarlin monitors every statement and you can drill down to understand its performance profile and execution plan in order to tune it.
Automatic suggestions
DBmarlin has a built-in knowledge-base for database wait events and statement execution plan operations which will guide the tuning process showing what can be done to improve performance.
