As you investigate the root cause of an incident, the best place to start is to find what changed. To understand what change caused a problem and what effects propagated across your stack, you need to be able to see how the relationships between stack components have changed over time.

Databases are often the biggest bottleneck when it comes to application performance. Over the years a number of new database designs have emerged to help with not only basic scalability and performance but also to help improve developer productivity and make building certain types of applications easier.
