SQLCAT: A day in the life of an Azure SQL DB Developer / DBA

Description

The world is changing, and so is the life of the people who deal with data. Data is everywhere - on earth and in the cloud. If you are database developer, a DBA or  DevOps, your life isn't the same anymore. Database as service is adding new dimensions to the life of data engineers. Many things are the same as before, but many things are different. You spend your day thinking about new ways to do capacity planning, new ways to monitor and troubleshoot. You use some old tricks for performance tuning and find some new tricks as well. You think about if your data is safe and secure, now that it is in the cloud -- who is touching my data, from where and when - you want audits and controls to satisfy regulatory and compliance needs. When and how to use new features such as columnstore indexes, in-memory OLTP, etc. When to use Elastic pools. When to shard and use Elastic DB. 
 
Join the SQLCAT team for a full day Azure SQL DB deep dive on fundamentals, performance troubleshooting, advanced practices, application patterns, customer scenarios and practical learnings. Whether you are a beginner or intermediate or advanced user of Azure SQL DB, you will find lots of useful learnings to enhance your daily life as a database developer, a DBA or DevOps.
