You’ve got traction. Users are signing up, traffic is ticking up, and your app is moving from MVP to production. But then the edge cases start creeping in - slow queries, timeouts, inconsistencies across environments. You don’t need a full-blown alert system screaming at you. You need calm, timely, smart advice.
That’s the idea behind SashiDo’s Smart Recommendations System. In Part 1 we covered the Runtime section and now we're focusing on the Metrics and App View pages.
From pinpointing database slowdowns to helping you scale your engine before traffic breaks things, your SashiDo dashboard now offers infrastructure tips tailored to your actual usage. No guessing. No fluff. Just helpful, educational guidance right inside your dashboard only when it matters
Let’s take a look at what’s new across your Metrics and App management views.
Database Suggestions - See the Signs Before They Become Issues
Your Database is growing fast, but not all growth is good when your current set up doesn't match your needs or you haven't went through a regular audit. So for example when your your database is getting crowded, SashiDo gently steps in with a tip for better performance and fewer slowdowns:
Or your when your indexes are taking up too much space and we can offer a helping hand:
Indexes help queries run faster (like a book's index), but too many or poorly designed indexes waste space and slow writes. In simple words 30%+ overhead = your indexes are bigger than optimal.
Whether it’s a storage concern or a query slowdown waiting to happen, you’ll get the insight and the solution suggestion - before users feel the lag.
What these solutions mean for your app:
- Improved Performance: No "noisy neighbors" - dedicated resources for your app
- Better Security: Your data isolated from other customers
- Increased Scalability: Handle more traffic without slowdowns
- Ensure Reliability: Consistent performance, no resource competition
- More Speed: Faster queries, especially during peak hours
- Smarter indexes: Expert schema analysis, index optimization and best practive review
Your Engine’s Feeling the Pressure
You’ve outgrown the Development tier. That's awesome! Production level apps, require production level resources. So instead of letting your app crawl under pressure, we highlight traffic spikes and recommend the exact engine tier that fits your needs.
This new functionality is based on avg requests/minute and engine capacity. So when traffic consistently approaches engine limits it suggest specific next tier.
No digging through metrics. No guesswork. Just a timely heads-up based on real traffic patterns.
Why this means for you:
- Data-Driven: Based on actual metrics
- Proactive: Upgrade before slowdowns happen
- Specific: Tells you exactly which tier to upgrade to
- Cost Effective: Right-sized recommendations
Multi-App Overview Showing Where Your Attention is Needed
Got a dashboard full of apps? You’ll now see colored dots showing which ones have critical or important suggestions and need your attention with priority. The Red (Critical) dot means something is broken or will break soon (Example: Redis needed for Live Queries), and the Blue (Important) one means Performance/scalability opportunity(Example: Database > 10GB, should upgrade to Dedicated). Click the notification to jump straight to the issue.
Why this means for you:
- At-a-Glance: See all app issues in one view
- Prioritized: Critical issues stand out across your app portfolio
- Fast Navigation: Click recommendation → jump to exact page
- Portfolio View: Perfect time-saver for agencies managing many apps
