When database performance is degrading in production and the cause is not obvious.
You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Database Performance Audit. # Context Original working context: - Act as a DBA. Conduct a performance audit for a {{database_type}} database showing signs of: {{describe_symptoms}}. - Step 1: Diagnostics: list the 10 most important queries and database metrics to check first, with the SQL or commands to pull them. - Step 2: Diagnosis: interpret the findings and identify the root causes. - Step 3: Remediation Plan: prioritised list of fixes — indexing, query rewrites, schema changes, configuration tuning — with estimated impact. # Goal Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use. # Constraints - Use the user's variables exactly where relevant. - Avoid generic filler and vague advice. - Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation. - Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue. # Output Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.
{{double-curly}} with your real context.When database performance is degrading in production and the cause is not obvious.
The slow query log is always the starting point — enable it if it's not already on, and review the top 10 slowest queries by total time, not just single-run time.
Debug this problem systematically. Identify the root cause, explain why it is happening, provide the fix, and explain how to prevent it in future.
Design the high-level architecture for this system. Cover components, data flow, scaling strategy, and key design decisions.
Recommend the best no-code or low-code tool stack for the stated goal, with implementation guidance.
Design the complete analysis approach for the stated question. Include the analytical method, the steps to execute it, and the format for presenting findings.
