Depends

Should I use MyDBA.dev?

PostgreSQL monitoring, query insights and index tuning - mydba.dev

· 2 days ago

Serious Postgres shops without deep in-house DBA expertise get value from 75+ automated checks and named fixes. Multi-database teams and zero-budget teams fit Percona PMM, pgwatch, or Datadog better.

Best for

  • Teams wanting full-stack observability, not just Postgres
  • Buyers who need many independent reviews first

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

Pricing stays hidden until signup or contact; budget check needs a sales call first.

medium

Monitoring needs deep database access; read the privacy policy before connecting production systems.

low

Guess: switching tools later means re-baselining; scorecard data likely stays inside MyDBA.
