Code Your Way Out of Burnout
Online
22 attendees from 19 groups
Free RSVP

If your code had a critical bug, you would fix it immediately. So why do we ignore the warning signs when WE are the ones breaking down? Burnout is not just feeling tired after a long busy week. It is a systematic breakdown that the World Health Organization now recognizes as an occupational phenomenon, affecting over half of US workers.

The cost is real, including health problems, strained relationships, declining productivity, and a cascade of errors that impact both your career and personal life. The challenging part of burnout is that it comes in slowly, often running in the background until it crashes your entire system.

This webinar is about learning how to identify the early warning signs, debug the root causes, and discover your very own strategies to prevent it and protect your long-term wellbeing at and outside work. Whether you are an employee, a manager, a leader, caregiver, or anyone juggling demanding responsibilities, this session will give you the tools to recognize, address, and prevent burnout before you hit the breaking point. Burnout is not inevitable. It is preventable.

(TRAINING): PostgreSQL A-Z
Online
1 attendee from 19 groups
A two Morning training event:

This rapid-fire training offers a structured, systematic walkthrough of all PostgreSQL GUC parameters, highlighting the most impactful “low-hanging-fruit” settings that can deliver immediate performance improvements. Rather than overwhelming attendees with exhaustive deep dives, the session focuses on surfacing what truly matters first—ensuring that no relevant parameter is overlooked while maintaining a fast, practical pace. Participants will gain a clear understanding of which configuration areas deserve the most attention, how these parameters interact with PostgreSQL’s internal architecture, and what considerations to keep in mind when tuning for real-world environments. Because the content assumes a working familiarity with PostgreSQL internals, the training is ideal for engineers who want a high-level but actionable overview of everything that can be optimized in PostgreSQL.
