A Ruby gem providing PostgreSQL performance diagnostics for Rails applications, ported from Heroku PG Extras. It exposes rake tasks, a Ruby API, and an optional web UI for queries about locks, index usage, buffer cache hit ratios, vacuum stats, and slow queries.

Use cases

• diagnose slow postgres queries in a rails app
• check index usage and missing indexes in postgresql
• inspect database locks and blocking queries
• monitor buffer cache hit ratio and vacuum stats
• find most expensive sql queries with pg_stat_statements
• integrate postgres health checks into monitoring tasks

When to choose

• you run a Ruby on Rails app on PostgreSQL and need performance insights without Heroku's plugin
• you want a scriptable Ruby API plus optional web UI for database diagnostics
• you need quick rake-task-based access to pg_stat_statements, locks, and cache stats

When to avoid

• your app is not on Rails or Ruby (use ruby-pg-extras or the Node/Rust/Elixir/Python ports instead)
• you need full continuous database observability rather than on-demand diagnostics
• you use a database other than PostgreSQL
