Frequently asked questions
Questions people actually ask
- How is this different from our observability tools?
- Instead of dashboards, it publishes a ranked verdict: the endpoint, line and query costing the most, with the change to make and the expected improvement.
- Does profiling slow production down?
- It samples production continuously at negligible overhead.
- Does it show cost as well as latency?
- Yes. Each bottleneck shows the milliseconds it costs at a given percentile and the dollars of compute it costs a month.
- How are regressions handled?
- Regressions are caught per deploy and attributed to the pull request that caused them.
- Is there a free plan?
- Yes. It is free forever for one service under a low request volume.
- What do paid plans cost?
- 199 dollars a month per service, or 899 dollars a month for up to 20 services with per-deploy regression detection and cost attribution.
- Why should I trust the slow endpoint cost calculator?
- It is arithmetic on your own estimates, worked out in your browser, and it assumes compute grows with the time spent serving requests. It does not see your system; the free one-time production profile names the top five bottlenecks and their compute cost.
What is one slow endpoint costing you each month?
Put in an endpoint's traffic, its response time now and after a fix, the compute it uses, and the time spent investigating. See the compute and user waiting a faster endpoint would free each month. Runs in your browser. No account, no card, no call.
