something that needs to run on top of a Petabytes of data in the cloud, on Iceberg, with an advanced query planner and a high speed SIMD engine
Part of my confusion was that this blog post makes no mention whatsoever of any of those things!
It gave me the (incorrect) impression that this observability functionality was the purpose of the product. And it is worded in a way which makes no mention of prior art in built-in DBMS observability.
Looking at the other threads here, I don't think I'm the only one who was confused about that. A couple intro paragraphs to the product might help a lot.

That's fair feedback and I shall take that into account in future blogs.
Thanks for letting me know - you can stare yourself blind on that stuff
