Introducing Cloud SQL Insights

Cloud SQL Insights helps you detect, diagnose, and prevent query performance problems for Cloud SQL databases. With Insights, you can monitor performance at an application level and trace the source of a problematic query across the application stack by model, view, controller, route, user, and host. In this video, we introduce you to Cloud SQL Insights and demo how you can use it for self-service, intuitive monitoring and troubleshooting.
