Accelerate your
PostgreSQL journey

Learn from industry-recognised experts

At Data Egret, we’ve been working with PostgreSQL for over a decade and after the overwhelming interest in our webinar series we are now introducing focused, specialised courses that help teams deepen their skills in open-source PostgreSQL practices.

“I took Data Egret’s PostgreSQL Essentials (DBA1) course to expand my SQL background with PostgreSQL administration skills. 

The small-group format made it feel very personal, and I always felt supported by the instructors. The skills I gained are already helping me in my current role to better administer our Postgres environment, and the certificate is a big plus. 

For the level of expertise and support, the price was definitely worth it.

“The course was great! It surfaced for me a large number of technical PostgreSQL features that I have been unaware of. The course material, the slides, the demos were well done. 

The demos exposed me to techniques for process management (for example, using `ps -o`). I am now much more comfortable understanding Postgres use of memory. The webinar has also motivated me to explore more of the statistics that PostgreSQL makes available. 

You guys did great!”
