Latency visibility for microservices

Watch Your Back.
Find the bottleneck in minutes.

A focused observability console that correlates API performance, database query cost, and nested call chains using request IDs. Built to answer the questions that matter: what got slower, why, and where?

Capabilities
What we measure
v0.1
API latency & status
Total time, server time, payload sizes, failures.
DB query cost
Per-query execution time, slow flags, repository context.
Nested call fan-out
Understand amplification across chained services.
Custom dashboards
Build charts from your DB metrics dataset.
Why it matters

The shortest path from spike to root cause

Most dashboards show you that something is wrong. Watch Your Back helps you prove what caused it: which API call, which DB query, and which nested chain amplified the latency.

Request-centric drilldowns

Every view is grounded in a request UUID so you can pivot from high-level trends to concrete evidence.

DB impact visibility

Identify slow queries, see their repository/method, and understand how they contribute to request time.

Nested-call awareness

When a service fans out to other services, latency multiplies. Track nested calls and chase the critical path.

How it works

A simple data model that scales with your microservices

You instrument services to emit API + DB metrics with a shared request UUID, then explore them in dashboards. No heavy vendor lock-in.

1) Instrument

Capture requestUUID, timings, payload sizes, status, and nested call IDs at the service edge.

2) Collect

Store API metrics + DB query metrics in MongoDB (or your preferred backend) for fast querying.

3) Investigate

Filter by endpoint, drill into a request, inspect queries, and visualize distribution with charts.

Built for teams
Perks you’ll feel
Lower MTTR: pinpoint the exact DB query behind a slow endpoint.
Fewer regressions: catch slow queries and fan-out patterns early.
Shared language: request IDs, timings, and evidence everyone trusts.
Custom dashboards: build the view your team actually uses.
