Rob Vieira & Arnie Rowland
What The Heck Is My Job Anyway…?
Long ago and far away, you heard one database job: The DBA. If there was confusion, it was whether you were talking the traditional Database Administrator or a Database Architect. The bane of the DBA’s existence was often those pesky developers with little relational database understanding, and a love of linear thinking (Cursor’s anyone?).
Things have changed.
In an agile world, “full stack development” has become more ubiquitous. The still increasing importance of BI has an ever increasing number of additional people interacting directly with data. Furthering the challenge, relational databases have, in many organizations, lost its relative exclusivity – new structures and new engines are there to be learned and maintained.
This session will be a mix of some presentation and a lot of moderated discussion about the current state and future of our craft.
