Partner – DBSchema – NPI EA – (tag = SQL)
DbSchema is a super-flexible database designer, which can take you from designing the DB with your team all the way to safely deploying the schema.
The way it does all of that is by using a design model, a database-independent image of the schema, which can be shared in a team using GIT and compared or deployed on to any database.
And, of course, it can be heavily visual, allowing you to interact with the database using diagrams, visually compose queries, explore the data, generate random data, import data or build HTML5 database reports.

You can get some real insight into your CI pipelines, and into your tests by using Foresight.
This includes not just the basics but some actual, actionable data like Change Impact Analysis, where we can see the changes in a PR and correlate them to test runs and test coverage to show how they affect our builds:

Here we go…
1. Spring and Java
Optimize performance with end-to-end tracing and out-of-the-box support for popular Java frameworks, application servers, and databases. Try it free.
GraalVM is an exciting product – but apparently, not very mature yet.
The Kotlin's API can certainly be rich – better pay attention to which operations are lazy and which are not 🙂

If you've been considering which aspects of your system to monitor, this is a good place to start.
A microservice architecture is much harder to monitor and take care of than a monolithic system – DevOps is a must.
