Where an I find performance insight metrics `db.SQL.total_query_time.avg` in CloudWatch?

There is a useful metrics from AWS RDS Performance Insight called db.SQL.total_query_time.avg (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/USER_PerfInsights_Counters.html#USER_PerfInsights_Counters.Aurora_PostgreSQL)
I would like to setup alarm for it. However I cannot find it anywhere in Cloudwatch. Does any one know if it exists in Cloudwatch?
Amazon RDS Performance Insights metrics are not shown on AWS CloudWatch Metrics Dashboard, but you can query RDS Performance Insights metrics using APIs, you could create custom AWS Lambda function to query those metrics and trigger an alert using AWS SNS. Below you can find links to access metrics using AWS SDK and CLI APIs.

How to access Cosmos DB "Analytical Storage" Preview?

I tried to sign up for the "Analytical Storage" preview feature in the Azure Portal for my Cosmos DB account in North Europe. However it has been stuck in "Pending" state for two weeks now. Is this feature still available and if so how can I get it enabled?
Also how is the analytical storage accessed? According to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/globally-distributed-transactional-analytical-storage it's “Apache Spark”. Does this refer to the Cosmos DB Spark Connector or how do you query the underlying Parquet files? Also will it be possible to move the Parquet files to external storage (e.g. ADLS) for consumption by other BI tools?
Analytical Storage is currently a gated preview. This should go to public preview sometime this Summer.
The storage itself is fully managed so you will not be able to access the parquet files or storage directly. The only way to access this will be through the Synapse Analytics service.
thanks.

Is there a Firebase API endpoint to fetch account usage?

I'm building a SAAS project on Firebase and weighing the pros and cons of multi-tenant architecture vs managed Firebase instances for each account.
One of the key challenges with managed instances is reporting usage. I've searched through Firebase docs but have not been able to find an API endpoint to fetch a Firebase project's account usage (eg bandwidth, function invocations, storage, etc).
Is there a API that I'm missing or is this alternatively possible with core Google Cloud APIs?

We just added a REST API to manage projects and the apps in those projects. But there is currently no way to report usage for a project across all Firebase products. It sounds like a useful feature through, so I recommend filing a feature request.
Until a feature is added that fits your needs, you will have to do the tracking from within your own app, or by proxying the tracked functionality through Cloud Functions, where you can then log whatever you need for tracking usage.

Google Cloud Platform with Firebase

This is more a support question than a technical question. But if you set-up the Google cloud hosting and you want to use Firebase. Is the cost included, or do you have to pay separate for Firebase?
Since Google announced the new Firebase I'm curious if it is included in the package, or is it separate from Google cloud hosting and you can just add it?
Firebase is a different service than Google Cloud Platform(GCP).
Firebase offers different pricing models.
Firebase uses resources from GCP and its pricing are also calculated as per GCP pricing in its "BLAZE" plan (pay as you go).

Firebase Storage uses Google Cloud Storage for storing images, videos and other large files.
Firebase now uses the same underlying account system as GCP, which means you can use any GCP product with your Firebase app. For example, you can export raw analytics data from the new Firebase Analytics to Google BigQuery to help you surface advanced insights about your application and users.
New Firebase is now integrated with GCP. So you will now be able to use many services provided by GCP in firebase via integration.

So, if you think using firebase service plans are what fits for your product, its the way to go.

Push data in Microsoft Health Cloud Service

The available API provided only exposes methods for getting activity details information. Is there an option to push data in this service ?
Microsoft Health Cloud API
No, the current preview version of the Microsoft Health Cloud API does not expose a means to add data to the service.
