From pganalyze to Obsfly

• pganalyze is Postgres-only. Multi-engine teams end up paying twice.
• Per-server pricing at $349 starts cheap and ends expensive at 50+ hosts.
• No BYOC option for fintech and healthcare workloads.
• Limited AI advisory — recommendations aren't grounded in your schema and recent plans the way Obsfly's are.

Fairness signal — useful in renewal conversations.

• Deep Postgres-native expertise. The blog posts alone are worth the subscription.
• Index Advisor is best-in-class for pure Postgres shops.
• Founder-led support is fast and informed.

1. Step 1

   Compare slow-query coverage

   Both tools surface pg_stat_statements. Confirm Obsfly captures the same top-100 signatures over a 24h window before cutover.

2. Step 2

   Replicate the Index Advisor workflow

   Obsfly's AI Insights produce CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY recommendations grounded in your schema. Apply in shadow mode and compare with pganalyze's suggestions.

3. Step 3

   Migrate alerting

   pganalyze alerts are mostly threshold-based. Obsfly translates them to forecast-violation rules — daily/weekly seasonality is automatic.

4. Step 4

   Decommission

   After two weeks of overlap, disable pganalyze collectors and remove the integration role from each host.

• If you have non-Postgres engines, switch all of them at once — don't run pganalyze for some and Obsfly for others.
• Verify auto_explain settings carry over; Obsfly works best with log_min_duration_statement = 500ms.

Do we lose pganalyze's index recommendations?

No. Obsfly's AI Insights produce equivalent CREATE INDEX recommendations and explains the trade-offs.

What about non-Postgres engines?

pganalyze is Postgres-only. Obsfly covers 9 engines under one license — same UI, same alerting model.
