Proposal
I would like to contribute a vendor-neutral article titled:
Database Maintenance Cost Is Often Incident Debt: A Practical DBRE Review
It fits the open DBRE/SRE, monitoring/SLA, and backup/disaster-recovery topics.
The intended audience is DBAs, SREs, platform engineers, and technical managers
operating production PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, or mixed database estates.
Reader outcome
The article gives readers a repeatable 30-day review for connecting database
infrastructure cost with operational toil and recovery risk. It covers:
- mapping database services, ownership, criticality, and recovery expectations
- identifying repeat incidents and manual operational work
- reviewing sizing, storage, workload, replicas, retention, and licensing
together
- separating backup-job success from restore readiness
- defining a useful 24x7 escalation and response model
- measuring repeat incidents, manual hours, capacity growth, failed backups,
restore-drill age, and validated savings
The draft does not depend on a Percona product or any commercial tool and does
not make universal savings claims. It is designed to be practical across
engines, with room to add an engine-specific example if the editors prefer.
Disclosure
I am submitting this on behalf of ILOGICSOFT, a database engineering and managed
support company that also develops DBAegis. The article will carry that
affiliation disclosure and will remain educational rather than promotional.
A complete Markdown draft is ready. I am happy to adapt the scope, add a
reproducible PostgreSQL/MySQL example, and follow the editorial and author-profile
requirements before opening the article pull request.
