Welcome to Night Owl DBRE

Welcome to the very first post on Night Owl DBRE! After years of working behind the scenes with Oracle databases, multicloud platforms, and automation frameworks, I finally decided to create a space where I can share my experiences, challenges, research, and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. This blog will serve as a home for everything related to Database Reliability Engineering, from hands-on Oracle implementations and patching strategies, to automation best practices, resilience patterns, and the growing role of AI in the modern data ecosystem – especially with the new Oracle Database 26ai era upon us.

My goal is simple: to document real-world insights that can help others build more reliable, scalable, and intelligent data systems. Whether you’re a DBA transitioning into DBRE, a cloud engineer navigating data challenges, or someone curious about how AI is reshaping database technologies, I hope you’ll find something here that sparks ideas and supports your journey. Thanks for stopping by – this is just the beginning, and I’m excited to share more as the Night Owl adventure unfolds.
