## Why attend this free webinar?

### Still spending 27 hours a week firefighting database issues?

A recent research shows that DBAs spend up to 27 hours per week troubleshooting. What if your team spends nearly an entire workday every week responding to database incidents instead of driving strategic improvements? Traditional monitoring tools leave teams trapped in a reactive loop, where they discover bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and silent query drift only after users are impacted. Without true database observability, teams waste critical time fighting fires instead of driving strategic improvements.

**This webinar shows how to break that cycle.**

Join us on July 15th to learn how to:

- Reduce the average **27 hours/week** spent on firefighting activities.
- Gain complete visibility across complex hybrid database environments.
- Detect and resolve performance issues before they impact users.
- Identify the root causes of recurring database problems faster.
- Improve collaboration between DBAs, IT Operations, SREs, and leadership teams.
- Balance database performance and infrastructure costs simultaneously.
- Build a proactive database management strategy that prevents burnout.
