Database guardrails - a new era for developers and databases

Typical test suites don't capture all the issues around databases. They miss long migrations, wrong configurations, and slow queries that don’t scale. Load tests may capture some of them, but they are too late and too expensive. We need a new approach — database guardrails. Let's see how to use OpenTelemetry to improve the whole SDLC. We’ll explore how to validate our data access so queries will scale, our database will not go down during deployment, and so we can automatically root cause issues around databases.
During this webinar you’ll learn how to:
- Build database guardrails using OpenTelemetry
- Design database execution plans
- Automate observability and troubleshoot your data layer

After a 30-minute talk, there’ll be a 15-minute Q&A, for which we encourage you to submit questions in advance.
A webinar recording and related materials will be shared with all attendees after the event.
