public mongolab / dexDex is a MongoDB performance tuning tool that compares queries to the available indexes in the queried collection(s) and generates index suggestions based on simple heuristics. Currently you must provide a connection URI for your database.
Dex, the Index Bot ... a MongoDB performance tuning toolA well-indexed query improves performance by several orders of magnitude.

This is where Dex comes in.
