We usually wrap up between 7:30 PM and 8:00 PM. Haripriya will be speaking about a topic that connects data, administration, and development: "Enhance DBA’s Operations with Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) Principles".

Session Details:
As a Database or System Administrator handling operations with constantly scaling production responsibilities, do you find yourself and your team engaged in numerous repetitive tasks, monitoring various metrics, and dealing with an inbox full of alerting emails? Simplify and enhance this process by implementing Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) principles.

In this session, I'll explain what SRE principles are and why they are important to implement in operations. This includes setting up and monitoring Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to assess infrastructure health, reducing on-call workload, and automating processes. Next, I'll guide you through effective troubleshooting and the process of tracking and reviewing outages.

The goal of this session is to provide you with the information needed to implement a more manageable operational model and improve the reliability and availability of your systems.
