We have a system of Load Balancers and Web Servers, so we use Database Storage for the Profiler, which has somehow become deprecated and removed in 2.8+, which will keep us from ever upgrading in the future. Is there any alternatives for retrieving this logic or will we be forced to create our own extensions for future use?
