DBPLUS Performance Monitor at the Allegro Group

The Allegro Group, the owner of the largest auction website in Poland, allegro.pl, as well as several other e-commerce platforms, has chosen DBPLUS Performance Monitor as its SQL Server performance monitoring tool.

Allegro is one of the largest tech firms in Central Eastern Europe with the highest e-commerce sales volumes in the region. This means that the technology and business challenges facing the company’s partners are a unique opportunity to gain experience. The company employs nearly 1400 people, slightly less than half of whom are engineers.

DBPLUS Performance Monitor is a state-of-the-art system for monitoring and analysing Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server database performance. It’s a multifunctional tool which shows performance issues in a clear way, and which precisely indicates their causes.

The application architecture uses the IIS server to allow many users access to the app using a web browser. This significantly speeds up implementation of the Performance Monitor in the organisation, as it is not necessary to install a client at each workstation. Regardless of the number of users, the application does not generate a larger DB monitoring load.

How can you speed up database read queries

Before getting into the technicalities of speeding up your database read queries, the first step is always to have a clear understanding of what exactly you need. This might sound straightforward, but inefficient queries often begin with uncertainty about the data requirements. Knowing exactly what information is necessary for your application or analysis not only helps in crafting precise queries but also prevents the database from retrieving extraneous information, which can significantly slow down performance.

Data Observability

Too often when looking at the data we see just numbers – columns and rows that might seem meaningful on the surface but lack depth without proper context. Data observability changes this perspective. This approach is about understanding what the numbers really tell us about the health, accuracy, and vitality of our data systems.

Data observability isn’t just one thing – it’s an ability, or rather a way of monitoring your data’s health, accuracy, and overall usefulness. It’s what equips data teams with the essential tools they need in order to make sure that the data that’s driving business decisions is not only there but also high-quality, well-structured, and up-to-date.
