You receive a service ticket from the database operations department citing poor database performance between 9 AM-10 AM every day. The application team has confirmed no latency from their logs. A new cohort of pilot users that is testing a dataset loaded from a third-party data provider is experiencing poor database performance. Other users are not affected. You need to troubleshoot the issue. What should you do?

AIsolate the data analysts and operations user groups to use different Bigtable instances.

Hmm, I bet the new pilot users are all trying to access the same dataset at the same time. Key Visualizer to the rescue!

I'm going to go with the Key Visualizer. It's the most targeted tool for identifying data skew or hotspots, which sounds like the likely culprit here.

Isolating the user groups is an interesting idea, but it feels like overkill for this scenario. I'd try the Key Visualizer and Bigtable metrics first before resorting to that.

I agree, isolating the user groups seems like a drastic solution.

Definitely check the Bigtable metrics first to see if the table is hitting any resource limits. That could explain the daily performance spike.

The issue seems to be isolated to the new cohort of pilot users, so I'd start by checking the Key Visualizer to see if there's any hot-spotting or uneven data distribution causing the performance degradation.
