Database Admin

This is a comprehensive DBA skill that covers the full spectrum of modern database operations, from cloud platforms like RDS and Aurora to NoSQL and NewSQL systems. It shines when you're automating database provisioning with Terraform, setting up replication and DR strategies, or optimizing query performance across multi-cloud environments. The skill emphasizes Infrastructure as Code and reliability engineering principles, which is the right approach for production databases. It's heavy on operational practices like backup testing, chaos engineering, and compliance frameworks. Best for teams running serious database infrastructure rather than simple CRUD apps. The behavioral traits section is actually worth reading, it captures the paranoia that good DBAs need.
