Designing Relational Databases Optimised for High Performance

Course Overview

Technical debt in high-performance relational databases is borrowed against future delivery capacity, at compound interest. The documentation for this area of technology and systems delivery is accurate only until the next release. Progress on the practice within technology and systems delivery is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of high-performance relational databases and prepares them for it. It treats the wider technology and systems delivery agenda as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. The content is relevant to those who own this strand of technology and systems delivery and to those who are held accountable for its results. Mature organisations treat high-performance relational databases as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. Participants gain a realistic view of what this aspect of technology and systems delivery costs and what it returns. The final module sets out how progress on the technology and systems delivery discipline will be evidenced six months later.
