## What it is
PgHero is a performance dashboard for PostgreSQL, available as a Docker image or a Rails engine. It provides insight into query performance, index usage, and database health.

## Use cases
- monitor postgres query performance
- find slow queries in postgres
- check for missing indexes in postgres
- dashboard for database health
- monitor postgres table bloat
- track postgres connection usage

## When to choose
- you run PostgreSQL and want a self-hosted performance dashboard
- you use Rails and want database insights integrated into your app
- you want quick visibility into slow queries and index usage

## When to avoid
- you need full observability with metrics, alerting, and dashboards across many systems
- you use a database other than PostgreSQL
- you need long-term historical metrics storage

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: stable
- function: monitoring, database, analytics
- domain: databases, monitoring, self-hosted
- platform: self-hosted, ruby
- tags: postgres, performance-dashboard, rails-engine, database-monitoring, devops, docker, web-server
