Talk: What do you need to know to be a practitioner in the database field?

DataOps Binlogic present Colin Charles in an exclusive presentation: What do you need to know to be a practitioner in the database field?

Studying computer science is important, but what do you need to know from a production perspective, if you were to become a database administrator (DBA) or a developer using a database productively? Learn about the practical use cases for databases, and how to make your database experiences better.

This is naturally MySQL / MariaDB Server focused, but we will discuss the following topics:

•  why storage engine’s matter (practical CS here!)
•  understanding asynchronous, semi-synchronous, and synchronous replication
•  scaling your database
•  performance optimising your database
•  keeping your schema practical
•  why observability matters
•  security tips and tricks
•  managing within the cloud
