What you'll get

Three posts a week

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I publish technical deep-dives on SQL Server — performance tuning, execution plans, indexing, TempDB, T-SQL patterns, and production DBA life. Each post is something I'm actively working on, not recycled conference slides.

Monday database news

Every Monday I send a roundup of the most interesting SQL Server and database news from around the web — new releases, blog posts worth reading, and things I'm paying attention to. It's the fastest way to stay current without doomscrolling Twitter.

Bonus

Plus the First Responder Kit — free.

Subscribers get instant access to sp_Blitz, sp_BlitzFirst, sp_BlitzCache, and sp_BlitzIndex — my free SQL Server health check scripts, used by DBAs at thousands of companies worldwide.
