Team workshops
Team Workshops
Online sessions that build your team's skills around an agreed database topic, using the platform you actually run rather than a generic syllabus.
How a session is scoped
- Agree the platform your team runs, its current experience, and what it needs to be able to do afterwards.
- Turn that into a session plan and agreed learning outcomes.
- Prepare material and examples around your platform and your kind of workload.
- Deliver the session online, with time for your team's own questions.
What you receive
- A session plan and learning outcomes agreed with you beforehand.
- Material prepared for your platform and your team's level.
- Practical examples based on the kind of system you run.
Workshops are not accredited training and do not lead to a certification.
Possible topics
A rough guide to what a session can cover; the final scope is yours to choose.

- Monitoring

Platforms
For MySQL and MariaDB, sessions can go deep on replication, Galera, and ProxySQL or MaxScale. For Amazon Aurora MySQL, the focus is on the operational practices that apply to a managed service.
The technical articles give an idea of the teaching style, for example the step-by-step MySQL backup lab series.
