"Since the database is used by everyone, it becomes cared for by no one. Startups don’t have the luxury of a DBA, and everything owned by no one is owned by infrastructure eventually"
I think adding a DBA or hiring one to help you layout your database should not be considered a
'luxury'...
- winrid 3y agoYeah I mean, hiring one person to own that for 5-10 teams is pretty cheap... Cheaper than each team constantly solving the same problems and relearning the same gotchas/operational stuff that doesn't add much value when writing your application code.
- steveBK123 3y agoThere's even consultants you can hire out by the day instead of a full-time DBA. Maybe you need help with setup for a few weeks/months, and then some routine billable hours per month for maintenance / change advice.
