In this article, Kevin Kline introduces The High-Performance DBA webcast series, drawing on insights from our recent State of Database Report to explain why DBA burnout is rising and how teams can move beyond constant reactivity.
Over the past 15 years, Agile and DevOps have accelerated application delivery, enabling faster, more reliable releases. Yet the database layer often remains a blind spot for observability and performance monitoring.
In this article, Kevin Kline shows why closing the database observability gap is critical to improving performance, efficiency, and resilience for DBAs, developers, and the businesses that depend on their data.
In today’s fast-evolving digital landscape, organizations depend on complex distributed systems to support critical business transactions, services, and applications. Ensuring these systems operate flawlessly is essential, as errors can affect multiple components, impacting revenue, customer satisfaction, and brand reputation. Consequently, effective error monitoring, detection, and root cause analysis (RCA) have become vital business imperatives.
In today’s complex application ecosystems, understanding the impact of database performance on user experience is critical. Traditional monitoring tools often isolate application and database visibility, complicating root cause analysis. SolarWinds® Observability SaaS integrates Application Performance Monitoring (APM) with Database Observability (DBO), providing comprehensive, end-to-end performance insights that enable teams to troubleshoot quickly and optimize effectively.
