Why Control Turns Postgres Monitoring Into a Retainer Line Item
Control collapses a wall of Postgres charts into one status per database (serving, near limit, down, unreachable), which removes the threshold-tuning hours that usually eat an agency's monitoring margin.

Why does it matter for agencies?
Control collapses a wall of Postgres charts into one status per database (serving, near limit, down, unreachable), which removes the threshold-tuning hours that usually eat an agency's monitoring margin. At $99/mo for up to 5 clusters and $349/mo for up to 20, an agency can bundle fleet visibility into a client retainer while paying a flat per-cluster cost. The catch is branding: no white-label option exists, so Control works as back-office infrastructure or a co-branded service, not a fully branded product.
