Why CPSDBA?
PostgreSQL is widely adopted across enterprises, government agencies, and cloud platforms due to its reliability, extensibility, and cost efficiency. However, running PostgreSQL at scale requires far more than basic SQL knowledge.
A Certified PostgreSQL DBA is expected to design resilient PostgreSQL architectures, tune performance for high-concurrency workloads, implement robust backup, recovery, and disaster-recovery strategies, secure databases to meet enterprise and compliance requirements, troubleshoot complex production issues, and support growth, replication, and high availability.
The CPSDBA program is specifically designed to validate these production-grade DBA capabilities.
