I built a free Postgres monitor for Rails teams — would love feedback

https://uselantern.dev/

Know why your queries got slow after Friday's deploy. Lantern is a free Postgres monitoring for Rails teams. Health scores, query trends, deploy correlation. One gem, 5-min install, free for one database. Using it on my own app, would love feedback.

    This is cool — I'm building in the same space. I shipped PGVitals about a month ago, focused on weekly digest
    emails for slow queries and missing indexes. Different angle from yours
    since mine isn't Rails-specific, but the core problem is the same —
    small teams don't have a DBA watching the database.

    Would love to compare notes on what features users actually care about.
    What kind of feedback have you gotten so far?
