AWS re:Invent 2018: Using Performance Insights to Optimize Database Performance (DAT402)

Despite the importance of cloud databases as a core foundation for applications, many businesses face challenges in identifying database performance issues. Visibility into database performance is difficult due to a wide range of incomplete tools that can be difficult to install, configure, and maintain. While these tools may provide a wide range of statistics, they lack a standard methodology for analyzing the statistics to identify performance problems. In this session, learn how Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) changes this by providing database performance monitoring that is automatically configured, easy to use, and based on a clear actionable methodology.

The best presentation I have ever seen, this only happens when the person has the knowledge, and the zeal to make everything simple. I think anybody without the DB background can also understand what this video is about. Simple terms yet knowledgeable.
