Score: 6.5/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 6, Documentation: 8, Utility: 7)

dbhealth is a Go-based agent that monitors PostgreSQL health by collecting metrics on availability, load, capacity, table freshness, schema changes, and replication, exporting them to Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, StatsD, or the vendor's Control SaaS. It distinguishes itself with a curated set of 'facts' that emphasize actionable status over raw dashboards, and careful attention to query cost and permission errors.

Target audience: DevOps, SREs, backend developers, and data engineers managing PostgreSQL fleets
