    I've worked as a support engineer focused on Postgres, and I’ve spent the past two years helping teams debug lock-related issues in production. Lock tooling and resources are not great as of now. They're either standalone, narrow articles, or are overwhelming, or provide little context to beginners.

    So I built the resource I wish I had when I was learning.

    It:

    - explains locks

    - provides demos on how they work

    - has a tool that shows what blocks what

    - outlines troubleshooting strategies with real world examples

    - reviews 7 Postgres monitoring tools
