# Additional add-ons

The database replica and profiling add-ons extend your production deployment with capabilities beyond the standard offering: read-only database access for querying live data without affecting production performance, and application-level profiling for diagnosing runtime behavior in your Nakama instances. Reach for these when the built-in metrics and logs aren't sufficient for the investigation at hand.

## Database replica

The database replica add-on gives you a read-only database accessible over the internet. Query your own data without impacting production performance.

<!-- TODO: Add detail on how the database replica works, setup process, access method, and limitations. -->

## Profiling

Heroic Labs offers continuous profiling on request for studios with a **commercial support agreement**. When enabled, the Heroic Labs team can monitor your deployment's CPU usage, memory allocation, Go routine counts, mutex behavior, and lock contention with you.

Continuous profiling runs **differential analysis** across different time frames — comparing profiles before and after a potential problem occurs — so the Heroic Labs team can suggest surgical, targeted improvements to your backend code.

This add-on is only available on Heroic Cloud (not for self-hosted Nakama deployments). To inquire, contact [support@heroiclabs.com](mailto:support@heroiclabs.com).

## Enabling add-ons

Enterprise SSO is available in the dashboard UI. The other add-ons (metric exporting, log exporting, database replica, and profiling) are being added to the UI. In the meantime, contact Heroic Labs ([support@heroiclabs.com](mailto:support@heroiclabs.com)) to enable them for your organization.
