60% p95 latency cut via Postgres audit
60%
p95 latency reduction
Timeline
48-hour audit + 1 week remediation
48-hour DB Optimizer audit surfaced three missing indexes and connection pool misconfiguration. Fixes shipped within a week of the report.
Challenge
API latency spiked under load. Engineering suspected infrastructure scaling but lacked visibility into query-level bottlenecks across Postgres.
KPI targets
- Cut p95 API latency by 50%+
- Identify root cause without production downtime
- Prove vendor capability before larger ML engagement
Approach
- 1.Read-only credential grant and 48-hour automated + expert analysis
- 2.Severity-ranked report: slow queries, missing indexes, pool saturation
- 3.Engineering walkthrough to prioritize fixes by business impact
- 4.Optional remediation support scoped separately
Production artifacts
- Prioritized audit report with EXPLAIN plans
- Index and query rewrite recommendations
- Before/after latency benchmarks
- Connection pool configuration guide
Outcomes
- p95 response time reduced 60% within one week
- Low-friction proof of capability before six-figure ML program
- Engineering team implemented fixes with full documentation
