My New Learning Platform and What I'm Up To in 2022 | Tanel Poder Consulting

Tanel at Mount Denali in Alaska (2021)
In the beginning of every year I travel somewhere and take some time to think about the future and what I should be working on next. The 2020/2021 years were full of all kinds of distractions for me (and many of you). I got somewhat sick a couple of times too (although never tested positive for COVID) and the full recovery to 100% took time. - Linux, Oracle, SQL performance tuning and troubleshooting - consulting & training.

any chance you'll be branching out to other DBs besides Oracle? (namely postgres. :))

[tanelpoder]

I probably won't do anything as comprehensive as my Oracle/Linux stuff for Postgres/MySQL (any time soon). I wouldn't just want to be repeating documentation in my classes, but rather speak from (extensive) experience. Nevertheless, I am working on a universal method for approaching performance (adn reliability) of any program, including RDBMS engines - so there will be some opinionated focus-sessions about approaching Postgres & MySQL performance in a new way at some point.

Hello Tanel!

I am a bit off-topic. Just wanted to ask your opinion.
What do you think on the future of Oracle Database in the sense of competition from open source database managements systems such as YandexDB, FoundationDB, etc.. that specialize on doing only one thing right whereas Oracle wants to have it all, to have one converged database for all use cases (and among other things it's insanely expensive). Do you think Oracle DB will be able to compete in the new era of microservices and high load distributed systems?

... one more example, ClickHouse for analytics... MongoDB for documents, etcd as a key/value store.
