THWACK [Mini] Mission: Database Performance Analyzer (DPA) and Server & Application Monitor (SAM)

2005_thwack_DPASAM_MiniMission_900x300_nocta.png

The canyons and valleys of Postgres are spread out before you. The world seems like a big place today, what with this new frontier. There’s no way you can do this on your own. You return to the tavern you passed on the way and swing open the doors, scuffing your boots on the hardwood to displace some of the dust. The tavern is what you would expect it to be; dark, with low piano music, people sitting at tables enjoying a beverage on this hot day. The two in the corner catch your eye, their experience is as clear as day.


Next day, you’ve hired yourself two guides; frontiersmen. They know this land and its laws. They know what to expect. The tall one goes by SAM, the stocky one is DPA. Together you set out towards the future. Together, you can discover every aspect of Postgres. Sometimes “together” is exactly what you need.
