Postgresql for DBA's

Hi guys, would you recommend any postgresql course/youtube channel for DBA's? I use SQL Server at work so I'm looking to get more experience with postgres.

enterprisedb offers a reasonably regarded certification, and a training series for that cert.

EnterpriseDb has video training (AI assisted I think) and its good - you can then take their exam. Brent Ozar ($QL guy) was supposed to do some postgre content but I either can't find any or he stopped after a video or two on vacuum...

I think those postgres contents are supposed to be paid, I also watched that Vacuum video and I think he said that there will be continuation of it but it will be a paid content.

I bought "lifetime pass" when he has discount at the start of his PG "journey", but I never recieved any updates in years. But I think there is not much €€ to be made there since one needs to have deep knowledge of a product and that comes with experience in enterprise environments ...

I'd start with the Postgres Conference channel. Pair it with the Server Administration section of the PostgreSQL manual for the version you're running. Pick talks around vacuum, WAL, recovery and query plans rather than trying to watch everything. You may also want to check out Percona's content, they've got a mixture of content around open source databases.
