DistributedDBA focuses on developing future-proof DBAs with training and coaching.

To us, this means four main ideas.

First, we believe that technology evolves quickly. So data professionals must adopt a mindset of continuous learning.

We believe that the future of databases is trending to open source. Open source allows the greatest innovation and collaboration .

We also believe that future DBAs must not hoard their knowledge. Instead of being Data Gatekeepers, they must become Data Guardians to succeed for themselves , their teams and their companies.

And finally, we believe that companies must adapt a Remote First mindset. Successful companies will provide a path for their employees to succeed at remote work.
