Advanced Debugging and Performance Monitoring

drdalvi Public · Oct 8 2024

Idea Summary
While APEX currently offers basic debugging tools, enhancing this with more sophisticated, real-time performance monitoring and analytics would provide great value. This feature could offer insights into application performance, SQL query optimization, and page rendering times.

Use Case
As many applications are developed and deployed in big enterprises, monitoring and controlling is highly important to manage business critical applications.

Preferred Solution (Optional)
Real-time dashboards for monitoring application load, bottlenecks, and even automated suggestions for optimization could help developers quickly identify and resolve issues, ensuring better performance for end-users.

This idea is open.

    Even a small fraction of this functionality would be awesome

    I concur. There is much information in the database, but many Apex developers are not from this background.

    Unpopular opinion: 

    I'm not sure I agree that APEX is the right place to put this. Could it be baked in to APEX, yes, probably. Could you write an APEX application yourself that exposes this data, sure - Just like you could write a C#, Python, Ruby, or an app in any technology that can access the database. 

    There are tools that already do this, including SQL-DEVELOPER, SQL-DEV Web and many others from other companies besides oracle. 

    I just don't think that weighing the APEX core down with this would be a net gain. 

    You mileage (opinions) may vary.
