PG Tools - pgstats.dev shows the system tables

By Itay Braun, CTO, Metis

What is pgstats.dev

The simple website pgstats.dev shows the system tables of each version of Postgres. It also shows the differences in the system tables between each version and even some tips!

Why Should I Care?

System tables in Postgres provide a wealth of information for monitoring and optimizing database performance. Tables like "pg_stat_activity" and "pg_stat_bgwriter" offer real-time data on active connections, currently executing queries, and the status of the background writer process. By monitoring these tables, you can identify performance bottlenecks, detect long-running queries, and optimize resource utilization to enhance overall system performance.

My Take

This is a useful tool, a better option than the official PG documentation.
