Database Administrators, Developers and SREs can leverage these three #DatabasePerformance frameworks to understand #database health. distributeddba.com/blog/database-…

#DataGuardians will collect three required #database #telemetry to ensure they have the best insight into #DatabasePerformance. distributeddba.com/blog/database-…

Without good #o11y, you cannot get out of reactive mode when it comes to #DatabasePerformance. Percona's PMM is a good low-friction tool to provide visibility into the performance of your #OpenSourceDatabase over time. distributeddba.com/blog/database-…

#Data #linchpins are able to adapt and learn new technologies, and are go-to people for solving difficult data problems. And they are desperately needed! distributeddba.com/blog/database-…

#Terraform, a primary tool for #InfrastructureAsCode, is a great for the #DataGuardian to manage #DataInfrastructure. Learn how: distributeddba.com/blog/database-…

Unless you manage a very static and very simple data environment, #DataGuardians will eventually need to learn #InfrastructureasCode concepts and tools. distributeddba.com/blog/database-…

Efficient communication in #remotefirst companies is asynchronous. That means you will need to get good at written #communication using chat, email and formal reports! distributeddba.com/blog/remote-wo…

A blameless culture of #incidentmanagement brings #psychologicalsafety and trust to reduce incidents. And it avoids stagnating innovation. distributeddba.com/blog/database-…

With rising interest in running stateful workloads in #K8s, now is a good time to start getting familiar. Check this out to get started running MySQL on #Kubernetes using #Minikube and the @Percona #MySQL Operator distributeddba.com/blog/database-…

You are probably not close to running your data on #kubernetes. But there are trailblazers that are paving the path for you when you finally get there. #DataOnKubernetes distributeddba.com/blog/continous…

If you are using #Ansible to automate #MySQL configuration, do not manually maintain a static configuration file per server. distributeddba.com/blog/database-…

Here are 3 reasons to use #Ansible over custom scripts if you are thinking about converting to Ansible for your #database #automation tasks. distributeddba.com/blog/database-…

The future of #industry events should be flexible and hybrid, just like #remotework. distributeddba.com/blog/remote-wo…

Last week, #PerconaLive by @Percona offered the chance to learn from others about #opensource #databases for a really affordable price! Find my thoughts on my session, the themes of the event and the format of the event. distributeddba.com/blog/continous…

User roles simplifies user management for #MySQL #DataGuardians focused on #DataSecurity. distributeddba.com/blog/database-…

Data Security is a critical component of being a database administrator today. Are you a reactive Data Police Officer, or a proactive Data Guard? distributeddba.com/blog/database-…

Query #performance is critical to your application performance. A #DataGuardian will need to be able to know why #MySQL chooses a path to resolve the query. That's where MySQL optimizer tracing comes in. distributeddba.com/blog/database-…

The #DataGuardian should be a #Data Doctor instead of a Data Paramedic. This will allow you to plan ahead and keep your users from the pain of suffering data performance problems. distributeddba.com/blog/database-…

There may be some evil companies that try to abuse your time as you work from home. But don't let them! Put #RemoteWork guardrails over your time. distributeddba.com/blog/remote-wo…
