/job/ - Job Board

been thinking about how much the role is shifting lately. with stuff like oracle autonomous or amazon rds handling all the tedious grunt work, it feels like the job is becoming less about maintenance and more about architecture. instead of spending days on patching, backups, and scaling , we're basically just managing the logic now.
>the heavy lifting is handled by the cloud provider

it's almost like the era of the traditional dba is over . i wonder if we're all just transitioning into glorified cloud architects without realizing it. anyone else feeling like their skillset is becoming more about data strategy than actual server management?
