For Rails teams running Postgres in production

Know why your queries got slow
after Friday's deploy.

See which deploy broke your queries. Monitor cache ratios, bloat, and vacuum health in one dashboard. Get a daily health score instead of guessing if Postgres is misconfigured. One gem. Five minutes to install. Free to start — launch pricing from $9/mo.

Lantern dashboard showing health score, query performance, and deploy correlation

See it in action

90 seconds. Health score, deploy correlation, query trends.

Up and running in 5 minutes

1

Add the gem

One line in your Gemfile. The Lantern collector runs inside your Rails app — no separate agent or infrastructure.

gem "lantern-rails"
2

Deploy your app

Lantern starts collecting Postgres stats automatically. Add a CI webhook to tag each snapshot with the deploy that was live.

3

See what changed

Open your dashboard. Health score, query trends, and deploy markers — all correlated so you know exactly which deploy changed performance.

Catch regressions before your users do

Every snapshot is tied to a deploy. See the exact commit that changed your query performance.

Sound familiar?

Deploy → mystery slowdown

You shipped Friday afternoon. By Saturday queries were 3× slower. Without deploy-correlated monitoring you're running git bisect on instinct.

N+1s in production, not dev

Bullet finds them in development. Production has different data volumes and real traffic patterns — the N+1s that actually hurt only show up there.

Postgres is quietly misconfigured

work_mem at the default. random_page_cost tuned for spinning disks. These silent misconfigs silently cost 10–50% of your query performance.

Nothing between free and $149/mo

pgHero gives you a snapshot. pganalyze charges $149/mo and isn't Rails-native. There's a real gap for teams that need trends and depth without enterprise pricing.

What Lantern gives you

No infrastructure to manage.

Health score

A single 0–100 score across cache hit ratio, unused indexes, bloat, autovacuum health, and connection saturation. Check it like a dashboard instead of running 6 different queries.

Query trends

See how every query's mean time evolves across snapshots. Catch degradation early — before it hits your response times or your on-call rotation.

Deploy correlation

A single webhook from your CI or platform. Every snapshot is tagged to the commit that was live when it ran. See the exact deploy that changed your query performance.
