cloud databases growth

In recent years, the migration to cloud databases has profoundly transformed how companies manage their data. Platforms like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud have been adopted by organizations seeking scalability, flexibility, and reduced initial costs. However, this shift brings considerable challenges—both operational and financial—that require intelligent solutions to overcome.


The Scenario: Cloud Challenges

Migrating to the cloud offers incredible opportunities but also introduces new complexities:

  1. Cost Management: The elasticity of the cloud, while advantageous, can become problematic when resources are used uncontrollably, leading to unexpectedly high costs.
  2. Multicloud Infrastructure: Many companies adopt multiple providers to leverage different competitive advantages. However, this complicates the monitoring and optimization of various databases.
  3. Performance Assurance: In distributed environments, meeting strict SLAs in terms of latency and availability becomes a constant challenge.

These factors highlight the need for tools that help organizations effectively monitor, optimize, and control their cloud operations.


Why Tools Like Flightdeck Are Crucial

With the growing adoption of cloud databases, it becomes essential to have solutions that go beyond the basics. Companies need tools that:

  • Provide real-time monitoring with high granularity.
  • Detect performance inefficiencies, such as poorly designed SQL queries or improper resource usage.
  • Help identify bottlenecks and waste in multicloud environments, optimizing costs.
  • Provide proactive alerts, preventing issues before they impact critical operations.
