Optimizing Database Performance - Episode 1: The Solid Foundations of Database Design

SolarWinds' own tech evangelist, Kevin Kline discusses how database performance is often difficult to ensure, but it's even harder when the database server is misconfigured. Unfortunately, most SQL Servers are misconfigured right out of the box. In this discussion you learn about which problematic default settings should always be set manually.

The Data Table - Misconfigured Database Servers

SolarWinds' own tech evangelist, Kevin Kline discusses how Database Administrators (DBA) are responsible for keeping database systems available, recoverable, and performing well. Database Engineers (DBE) are responsible for moving data between systems, transforming data for ingestion into other systems, and orchestrating the resulting complexities. In this session, we will explain the overlap and the differences between the two careers.

The Data Table - From DBA to DBE

SolarWinds' own tech evangelist, Kevin Kline discusses how automation is the most important skill for database professionals to scale up their work.

SolarWinds' own tech evangelist, Kevin Kline discusses how Broadcom bought VMware in late 2023 and immediately began to slash jobs and change long-standing ways of doing business with VMware. We will dive deep into what this meant for you if you built your D&A infrastructure on VMware.

The Data Table - VMware 2024 - What Does the Future Mean for Your Databases Running on VMware?

SolarWinds' own tech evangelist, Kevin Kline discusses how more data professionals are working in cloud environments, either in a fully cloud enterprise or hybrid cloud/on-premises infrastructure. Consequently, more data professionals are included in difficult budget planning and cost optimization projects. In this session Kevin discusses what's new in IT financial operations (FinOps), along with tips and best practices for forecasting and optimizing costs.

The Data Table - FinOps for the Data Profession

SolarWinds' own tech evangelist, Kevin Kline discusses managing and monitoring multi-database platforms; research shows that around 70% of Fortune 1000 enterprises use multiple relational database platforms. In many of those enterprises, the DBAs themselves are specialists in only one of their supported DBs. Kevin explains how DBAs can better manage large numbers of databases provided by many different vendors.

The Data Table - Database Juggling Made Easy

Enterprises worldwide are adopting more selective stances toward their cloud solutions, with a greater emphasis on meeting strategic business goals and increasing flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. This shift involves more rigorous evaluations of ROI and, in situations where the ROI is inadequate, uprooting cloud-based applications, workloads, and data from the cloud back to local infrastructure – a process known as cloud repatriation.  

Cloud repatriation is driven by several factors, including security, compliance, performance, and internal policies. However, the number one reason for cloud repatriation is cost. This session will cover the five most important steps you can take to optimize your cloud spend before taking the drastic step of repatriation.  

In this session, you’ll learn how to:
• Right-size and match the instance types and sizes to your specific workloads while including spot, reserved, and standard instances in your analysis 
• Enable smart autoscaling and microservices to enable workloads to dynamically adjust consumption on demand 
• Be vigilant for unused resources since you must pay for everything running in the cloud, even if unused or unattached 
• Tune existing applications and databases for poor-quality SQL code and database designs since every cycle wasted on CPU, Storage, Memory, and I/O adds cost 
• Assess the cost-benefit choices between cloud VMs and managed services 

Join SolarWinds and the experts from Soaring Eagle to learn more about the world of cloud cost optimization from top experts in the field!

Stop Wasting Money: Five Ways to Reduce Cloud Database Spend

It’s rare to find a database completely free from the ills of poor design and/or inefficient queries. The result? Typically, higher I/O, longer user wait times, greater amounts of blocking, and increased resource consumption and contention.   
 
So, what’s the best way to tackle the issues and maximize return on time invested? Tune the SQL statements? Add another index? Add more columns to an existing index?   
 
Join database experts Kevin Kline, technical evangelist for database technology at SolarWinds, and Kellyn Gorman, director of data and AI at Silk, for a discussion about optimizing PostgreSQL database performance. Kevin and Kellyn will cover a variety of critical insights into query efficiency and table indexing on PostgreSQL, such as:  

*Assess query inefficiencies by reading execution plans.  
*Review table and index design for optimal performance.  
*Determine the priority of what options to tune first by reviewing overall workload behavior.  

 Finally, Kevin will demonstrate the newest features in Database Performance Analyzer (DPA) that make the entire performance tuning process faster and easier!

Turn the Tables on Poor Database Performance

The adoption of containerization and orchestration platforms, such as Kubernetes, has grown quickly as DevOps teams look to build scalable and resilient applications. Container environments consist of many moving parts. For example, in a busy application environment, hundreds of pods, the smallest execution unit in Kubernetes, are continuously being launched and decommissioned.

In this complex and dynamic environment, monitoring the health of your application infrastructure and troubleshooting issues can quickly become challenging. Between resource allocation issues that can cause pod eviction events, an unexpected termination scenario due to a spot instance availability, or CrashLoopBackOff errors arising from missing dependency that results in repeated failed launches; the sheer scale and complexity of a Kubernetes-back application requires more than standard monitoring and alerting to ensure optimal performance and health.

However, automation done well is more than just setting a SQL Agent task to take nightly database backups. Smart automation incorporates aspects of monitoring enabling your automations to respond dynamically and flexibly to the situation at hand.

You have a lot of choices in how you automate your workflows in SQL Server. There are tools to help you write your automation code, products to set-it-and-forget-it, and everything in between. Join Database Evangelist Kevin Kline to discuss where monitoring ends and automation begins.

In this session, you’ll learn:
• How database automation and better monitoring can support trouble-free operations
• Which tasks should you consider automating, on which servers, and in which order?
• The difference between PowerShell/korn/bash scripting, Microsoft CoPilot for SQL Server, Power Automate, DIY scripting, and an enterprise product
• Resources available to you to continue to learn about SQL Server automation

Developing databases and Azure Data Factory pipelines is just the beginning. Once the code has been committed to source control, moving code between environments can be cumbersome in a manual environment. When multiple databases are involved or database changes need to be deployed with ADF pipeline changes, tracking the proper builds of each solution is critical. Otherwise, the quality assurance team may test incompatible builds, leading to wasted time and potentially allowing unsupported changes to be deployed together. 
 
This session will introduce database developers and administrators to build and release pipelines in Azure Data Factory. Participants will gain hand-on experience, working with a demonstration database and a set of Data Factory artefacts to deploy to a target environment. Additionally, PowerShell will be used to do basic tests to ensure the database and ADF artifacts were deployed correctly.

SolarWinds Day: ITSM & Database Monitoring For All

DevOps is a widespread and popular set of practices, tools, and philosophies used to improve and accelerate the system's development life cycle. DevOps automates and integrates the processes between software development teams (“Dev”) and IT administration teams (“Ops”).  

While DevOps is popular for full-stack software development, it is also excellent for database development and can help reduce or eliminate many database performance issues before they ever deploy to production. Unfortunately, this practice isn’t widespread. But it should be! 

In this two-part webcast, you will learn how developers using Visual Studio “quality gates” can integrate with SolarWinds DPA and SQL Sentry to make that happen. Without this integration, undetected performance problems can lead to lost productivity and even lost data, as well as significant time spent by developers and database administrators (DBAs) chasing down performance problems.  

Packed with demos in Visual Studio and both DPA and SQL Sentry, you will see how to identify SQL Server performance problems in the development cycle, before the changes hit production.  

PREREQUISITES: Basic proficiency with core SQL statements, like CREATE, ALTER, DROP, GRANT, SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE

How to: Improve DevOps with Database Integrated Monitoring

As a DBA, it can be frustrating to get assigned a ticket suggesting something is wrong with the database, and after you spend the time you don't have, it becomes clear it wasn't the database at all. It was the underlying infrastructure, network, etc. In this video, we show how SolarWinds® Server & Application Monitor (SAM) can enable your IT team to monitor the health and availability of your Microsoft® SQL Server and other database instances. SAM in the hands of your IT support and monitoring teams provides broad visibility across the stack. It can make it easy for the team to identify the underlying cause for database availability and performance problems. SAM gives you visibility to the underlying elements with an impact on database availability and performance. It also looks up at the applications the databases are supporting, helping eliminate wasted time and resources, finger-pointing, slow time to repair, and unhappy customers.

It’s the Database. Or Is It? Put an End to Finger Pointing!

In this webcast, Steven Wright will review some of the most common SSAS performance killers as well as useful metrics to monitor in SSAS Tabular model, which is now the default installation option in SQL Server.
