This Track is For You If…

🏭 Working DBA With Production Responsibility

You manage PostgreSQL in production but there are gaps — backup strategy, HA setup, AWS, performance. This fills all of them systematically.

💻 Developer Turned Accidental DBA

You inherited the database or your team doesn't have a dedicated DBA. You need to operate it confidently without guessing.

🔄 DBA From Another Database (Oracle, MySQL)

You know databases but need PostgreSQL-specific production knowledge — the config, tools, HA approach, and cloud deployment.

📈 Mid-Level Engineer Moving to Senior

You want to take ownership of your production database — including AWS RDS, Terraform workflows, performance engineering, and SRE practices.

Outcomes After This Track

40 sessions, fully focused on running PostgreSQL in production.

🏗️ Production Setup from Scratch

Install, configure, secure, and deploy PostgreSQL on Linux — including all production-grade parameter tuning.

💾 Enterprise Backup & Recovery

pg_basebackup, WAL archiving, and hands-on Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR) — the full backup strategy.

🔄 High Availability & Failover

Streaming replication, Patroni automatic failover, HAProxy load balancing — production HA end to end.

☁️ AWS RDS & Aurora

Deploy, configure, and manage PostgreSQL on AWS RDS and Aurora including Multi-AZ and read replicas.

⚡ Performance Engineering

EXPLAIN ANALYZE, wait events, lock analysis, pgBadger, index strategies, partitioning — fix slow queries under pressure.

🤖 DevOps, AI & SRE for DBAs

Git, Jenkins, Terraform workflows, AI tools for database work, and SRE practices applied to database operations.
