Absent metrics, you have to extrapolate those insights manually, using so-called "tribal knowledge," word-of-mouth opinions, dozens of E-mail, and so forth.
These metrics were not our highest priority in our evaluations, but you should consider this information when looking at server performance.

Data services also perform a critical governance function - they help centralize metrics, monitoring, version management, reuse of data types, and enforce data visibility and access rules.
These expressions are applied to the "real" JDBC URL and are required so that the tracer can provide performance metrics to the APM system that are demarcated by the target database.
