About – Forerunner DBA

ForerunnerDBA is where I share practical database knowledge, lessons learned, and solutions from hands-on experience.

I’m Chakravarthy, a database professional with more than 17 years of experience working with Oracle technologies across production, high availability, disaster recovery, migration, performance, automation, and cloud environments.

My experience includes Oracle RAC, ASM, Data Guard, RMAN, performance tuning, automation, and cloud database deployments, including large-scale migrations of more than 100 TB of Oracle databases to Microsoft Azure.
