Webinar | The First 30 Minutes of a PostgreSQL Incident: a Production Triage Playbook
PostgreSQL is slow, connections are piling up, or an application has stopped responding. What do you check first? What evidence should you capture? And which interventions could make the situation worse?
Join Chris Travers, Principal PostgreSQL Consultant at Stormatics, on 28 October 2026 at 2 PM GMT for a practical session on making informed decisions during a production incident.
Designed for DBAs, SREs, and platform engineers responsible for production PostgreSQL, this webinar provides a repeatable approach to triage when the cause is still unclear and service recovery is the priority.

During the webinar, Chris will explore how to establish the scope and impact, prioritize diagnostic checks, and make informed decisions under pressure.
This session will cover:
- → Assessing whether the problem originates in PostgreSQL, the application, or the surrounding infrastructure
- → Investigating connection pressure, blocking queries, and resource bottlenecks
- → Preserving useful evidence before making changes
- → Deciding when to intervene, escalate, or continue investigating
