Executive Summary

Platform, SRE, and database teams at mid-to-large enterprises struggle to understand and act on query performance inside self-hosted observability stacks: queries run across distributed SQL/OLAP fabrics and service meshes, but current UIs either hide execution plans or force teams to stitch traces, logs, and database metrics manually. This problem is especially acute for the estimated 100,000 mid+large enterprises that prefer on‑prem or VPC deployments, where telemetry and query text cannot be exported to SaaS analytics for compliance or cost reasons. You could build a self‑hosted observability layer that surfaces query performance directly in the application observability UI, combining lightweight collectors, query profilers, execution-plan snapshots, and trace correlation while keeping all data resident in customer infrastructure. Key product elements would be a low‑privilege collector for popular SQL/OLAP engines, a UI-first query insights surface that links to traces and logs, and enterprise features like RBAC, encryption-at-rest, and turnkey VPC/on‑prem installers. This is an attractive moment: the global APM and observability market is roughly $25.0B (100,000 customers × $250K ACV), driven by trends toward self‑hosting, data residency, and cloud‑native complexity, and our internal scoring places the opportunity at 92/100 with revenue potential around 78/100. Consolidation and platform fatigue mean buyers favor integrated UX over point tools, increasing willingness to replace stitched workflows with a focused query‑first capability if it reduces MTTR meaningfully. To stand out you must be pragmatic about deployment and integrations—differentiators will be a tiny operational footprint, native connectors to the major databases, and UX that surfaces actionable remediation steps rather than raw metrics. Expect medium competition and long enterprise sales cycles; overcome those challenges with strong compliance documentation, reference architectures, and proof‑of‑value pilots that demonstrate measurable latency or cost savings in the first 90 days.
