Updated First Responder Kit and Consultant Toolkit for April 2023


This month’s big changes are performance tuning in sp_BlitzFirst & sp_BlitzLock.

Part of the benefits of using the open source FRK is that when any of us work with *really* big/fast/ugly servers, we tune the FRK procs to work better in those environments – which means it’ll likely work better in yours, too. For example, this month I was working with a server doing 30k-35k queries/sec and hitting threadpool issues, and I wanted sp_BlitzFirst to return more quickly in that kind of environment, so I tuned it.
