Kernel

Problem

Engineering teams learn about slow database queries from angry customers, long after the change that caused them has shipped.

Çözüm

Kernel replays production queries against every pull request and blocks the merge when one gets slower, with the fix suggested in the review.

Kimin için

Product engineering teams running Postgres or MySQL in production.
