Course Overview

The PostgreSQL Database Administration V17 course by PostgreSQL is designed for database administrators, systems engineers, and backend developers responsible for managing and maintaining PostgreSQL environments. This comprehensive training prepares candidates for the PostgreSQL Open Certification Level: DBA-1 exam, equipping them with essential skills in installation, configuration, user management, and backup operations. Participants will gain proficiency in core administration tasks including managing roles and privileges, configuring server settings via postgresql.conf and pg_hba.conf, and performing logical and physical backups using tools like pg_dump and pg_basebackup. With PostgreSQL powering over 170 active job roles across leading tech companies as of 2026, this course meets growing industry demand for certified professionals who can ensure database reliability and security in production environments.

Students engage with key PostgreSQL 17 technologies including Write-Ahead Logging (WAL), Multi-Version Concurrency Control (MVCC), autovacuum, and logical replication, all within a hands-on lab environment built using Docker containers and Ubuntu LTS. The labs simulate real-world scenarios such as setting up primary-replica configurations using Log Shipping, monitoring replication lag, and implementing point-in-time recovery with pgBackRest and MinIO for S3-compatible storage. Learners configure high-availability clusters using Patroni and etcd, manage connection pooling through HAProxy, and utilize monitoring tools like Prometheus and Grafana. A capstone project involves deploying a full PostgreSQL HA stack with automated failover, WAL archiving, and chaos testing to validate resilience under failure conditions, ensuring students gain practical, deployable expertise.

This training directly prepares candidates for the PostgreSQL Open Certification Level: DBA-1, a widely recognized credential that validates foundational database administration skills. Certified professionals report median salaries of $135,600 as of mid-2026, with strong career growth into senior DBA and data engineering roles. Koenig Solutions enhances learning with official courseware, 1-on-1 instructor support, and a Guaranteed-to-Run schedule, ensuring every student completes the program with hands-on mastery. Graduates are well-positioned to advance into cloud database management, performance tuning, or enterprise PostgreSQL architecture, equipped with in-demand skills that drive long-term career success in data-centric technology roles.
