Webinar Replay: How to Get Started With Open Source Database Management

At Severalnines we write alot about advanced topics in the open source database world, but if you are just getting started with the technologies then this is the webinar for you. Watch as Krzysztof Książek, Senior Support Engineer at Severalnines and an expert in database administration, delivers a 60min crash course on how to get started with managing open source databases.

This webinar replay has been expanded from the blog of the same name recently published by Krzysztof.

If you’ve just been tasked with taking care of an open source database and are not sure how to proceed; or have worked with open source databases before, but never had to manage them (in other words, you’re not a DBA) … this webinar is for you!  It  introduces all the basic information you need to know to get started using MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL and other open source technologies.

Krzysztof shares some open source database-agnostic tips because in the end, no matter what database you end up managing, some of the tasks and skills required are the same.

So if you’re a SysAdmin, DevOps, Developer, System Architect, IT Manager … or a new DBA in search of a refresher session, make sure to watch this replay!
