Why teams struggle
Nobody wants to delete the wrong index, yet carrying unused indexes hurts performance and cost. Custom scripts and gut feel are a risky substitute for evidence.
How Pulse helps
Index sprawl is a quiet MarkLogic tax—teams feel slowness but rarely have proof of what is unused. Indexes Explorer inventories indexes, flags cleanup candidates, and keeps you in control of every change.
