It took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize this wasn't an official MongoDB product. But that's a compliment! The landing page is great.
Really interested in behind-the-firewall options. Nobody should punch a hole in their network exposing their DB to the Internet. IMO you should offer VPC peering for AWS & GCP so this can work entirely on private networks.

Thanks for compliment vngzs!
As you and more commenters pointed out, current connection to db isn't very optimal.
I added a note "Allow remote connection to MongoDB port (27017) from 165.22.32.162" while I try to come up with a better solution.
If you can share some advice/article on how VPC peering for AWS & GCP works, I'll be grateful.

Getting:

during the registration.
Hug of death?

Fixed. Lesson learned - don't post on HN Show, when your app runs on $10/month container and db on $3.5 one
Here's how it works:
1. Connect to remote MongoDB database
2.Define metrics once, simply as creating a {query} or an [aggregation] on your data
3.Analyze changes in your site's performance over various lengths of time and compare to past performance
There is a Free account to track up to 3 metrics and unlimited to track unlimited metrics for $29/month, but payments aren't connected so it's free for unlimited metrics now.
I'm aware there is MongoDB Charts, but I personally wanted something easier to use just for analytics and not only for databases hosted on Mongo Atlas.
I'm transparent about what it stores (https://databaselog.com/doc/we-do-not-store-your-data) and recommend using it with read-only user to be 100% safe nothing changes.
If you're interested in how I built Databaselog, I shared my progress publicly (https://twitter.com/MattHlavacka/status/1264172956130869248)
Please let me know if you're interested or have any feedback.
