Find database query regressions by release

Which database operations became slower or less reliable after a release?

Compare normalized query families across releases to find slower or newly failing operations.

How to read the query

  • Query fingerprints group equivalent statements without exposing literal values.
  • Release-level aggregates separate application changes from one-off slow queries.
  • Latency and error rate belong together: either can identify a harmful regression.

Decisions the SQL cannot make

  1. 1Investigate fingerprints whose latency or error rate rises in the newest release.
  2. 2Correlate a regression with deployment and incident timelines before rollback.
  3. 3Create an alert only after choosing a volume floor that controls low-sample noise.
