Debug your Postgres from the terminal: a tour of `neon inspect db`
Blog post from Neon
Neon has introduced a new feature, "neon inspect db," which allows users to debug Postgres databases directly from the terminal using the Neon CLI. This set of read-only commands provides insights into various aspects of database performance, such as table sizes, index usage, query execution times, and cache hit rates, without the need to manually connect and query the database using SQL. The commands are designed to be safe, running versioned SQL against relevant catalog views and returning only necessary data points, making them suitable for both direct user interaction and automated agent use. "neon inspect db" simplifies diagnostics by eliminating the need for raw SQL access, thus reducing errors and enhancing security. Additionally, the tool integrates seamlessly with existing Neon projects, allowing users to connect effortlessly and gain insights into database performance and maintenance, while also facilitating replication monitoring and cache management through the Local File Cache on Neon.
