Can you not use EXPLAIN ANALYZE to identify steps that had the highest compute time? I think most databases have some form of this.


This is a great command everyone should know. We once had a long running database query that was blocking a pipeline (code was written in a week and of course became integral to operations). Ran it, 15 minutes of thinking, added a new index on an now important column, and cut the run time down from almost 30 minutes to 5 seconds.


I've never heard of this, and I'm pretty sure my coworkers haven't either. Thanks for mentioning it!
