About this course

For DBAs, database engineers and SREs. Use generative AI and agents to explain query plans, test index recommendations, read metrics and baselines, summarise logs and audits, and draft maintenance, backup and recovery work, while every change waits for a DBA. Practise on a PostgreSQL 18 estate in Docker with a free Groq key or a mock, map each habit to Oracle AI Database 26ai and SQL Server 2025, give an agent read-only access through MCP with an approval gate, and finish by building an on-call assistant with its evidence in a free hands-on lab.
