<ul><li>Observability is more important than monitoring when it comes to database reliability. Observing all the stages that affect the database is essential to make sure that we prevent any issues from reaching production.</li><li>Understanding how pieces interact with each other is as important as seeing the problems that arise. Monitoring solutions must explain what happened instead of merely presenting metrics and timelines.</li><li>Computers are great at doing repetitive tasks and should be used for troubleshooting. Troubleshooting should be automated, including capturing the execution plan, examining slow queries and testing different versions of the query with different indexes or configurations.</li><li>Metis is a tool that plugs into the entire software development life cycle to analyze queries and capture execution plans. It can provide actionable insights into how to fix issues and suggest improvements with instructions on how to rewrite queries.</li></ul>
