One simple way to find what apps are using DB queries is using Stackify’s APM solution (http://stackify.com) we use it to see how queries are being used and remove inefficiencies using the DB and specific queries (like finding that specific query was used many times by 5 different apps…)
Yes, APM tools can be useful, but we find that some teams treat APM as ‘magic’ instead of reasoning about the software from first principles. A combination of approaches works well.
I guess I can see your point. It does probably varies between small and large companies and different organizational cultures
