“I’ve been using Redgate pgNow tool for the last few weeks and I’m asking myself how I lived before without it.”

“This is hugely helpful! Without a quick tool like pgNow to do this work for you, you’d have to start querying `pg_stat_statements` periodically, saving the cumulative values, and then query the deltas over time.”

“pgNow has included the ability to take periodic snapshots of query activity so that you can compare over time which queries are actually doing work now. This functionality alone is worth its weight in gold if you don’t have a lot of Postgres experience or other monitoring solutions set up for your applications and infrastructure.”
