Did you know that inefficient database queries can slow applications by up to 80%, costing teams hours of productivity each week? Proactive query optimization keeps your data systems fast, efficient, and ready to scale. This Short Course was created to help data management and engineering professionals proactively optimize database performance and ensure reliable, efficient production data systems through systematic performance analysis and resource management. By completing this course, you will be able to analyze query performance metrics, identify bottlenecks, and make informed decisions about resource allocation—skills that help you maintain high service levels and maximize the efficiency of your data infrastructure. By the end of this 3-hour-long course, you will be able to: Analyze query performance to guide resource allocation and maintain service levels. This course is unique because it bridges database optimization and operational strategy, giving you practical tools to interpret performance data, fine-tune queries, and sustain peak efficiency in production environments. To be successful in this project, you should have: Basic SQL query knowledge Understanding of database concepts Familiarity with command-line tools Awareness of system monitoring practices Did you know that inefficient database queries can slow applications by up to 80%, costing teams hours of productivity each week?
