pgSentry – PostgreSQL micro-DBA providing automated health monitoring and actionable fixes

Summary: pgSentry monitors PostgreSQL databases to detect issues like bloat, replication lag, inactive slots, slow queries, and blocking locks. It delivers a dashboard with severity-ranked, actionable recommendations and copy-paste SQL fixes to prevent incidents. It supports AWS RDS, Supabase, Neon, Google Cloud SQL, and self-hosted Postgres clusters.

What it does

pgSentry connects via a read-only user to analyze key health metrics including tables, indexes, bloat, replication lag, WAL, slots, locks, and slow query patterns, then suggests improvements with executable SQL commands.

Who it's for

It is designed for engineering teams without dedicated DBAs or engineers seeking faster, clearer PostgreSQL visibility.

Why it matters

It addresses silent PostgreSQL failures by proactively identifying and resolving database health issues before they cause incidents.
