- Optimize Database Performance
- Analyze complex database workloads to identify performance bottlenecks and opportunities for optimization.
- Perform advanced SQL query analysis, index optimization, execution plan analysis, and database performance tuning.
- Monitor and analyze database performance using technologies such as Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM), Query Analytics (QAN), Grafana, and slow query logs.
- Collaborate with Software Engineering teams to improve database interactions, optimize application queries, and resolve performance challenges.
- Establish and improve monitoring, alerting, and performance management practices to maintain reliable production operations.
- Drive Automation, Reliability & Continuous Improvement
- Plan and execute database upgrades, migrations, and schema changes while minimizing disruption to production services.
- Implement zero-downtime or near-zero-downtime database changes using replication, online schema change tools, Atlas, and related technologies.
- Automate database operations, configuration management, and recurring maintenance tasks using tools such as Puppet, Bash, Python, or Go.
