Description

Our products are currently reliant on the same Postgres instance used by Grafana. This means that misbehaving products can degrade Grafana's database access and vice versa, making it difficult to debug via logs. We should have separate db instances for Grafana + the products to avoid this.

See the related incident review discussion in Confluence.

Research direction

Start with the related incident review discussion in Confluence and map how Grafana and the products currently share a Postgres/RDS instance. Define separate Grafana and product database instances, then verify that neither workload can degrade the other's database access; no files or tests are named in the issue.
