It’s worth being clear on how Database Observability and integrations differ. They aren’t two versions of the same thing, and you don’t simply choose one over the other.
A database integration monitors the health of the database instance as a whole. It comes with prebuilt dashboards and alerts for aggregate metrics like connections, throughput, and replication, and it covers many database types, including MongoDB, Redis, Memcached, Cassandra, and Oracle.
Database Observability works one level deeper, at the query level, and only for MySQL and PostgreSQL. It shows which individual queries are slow and why, with explain plans, wait events, and query samples.
Because they answer different questions, they complement each other. An integration tells you the instance is healthy. Database Observability tells you which query is slow and what to change. If you run either a MySQL or a PostgreSQL database, you can use both.
