* your sql is code, and treat it as such, check it into git etc * robust deployment strategy is essential to scaling team * write a lot of tests * become intimate with pg_stat_statements * keep your transactions as short as possible while preserving safety * avoid developers who advocate for keeping business logic out of the database religiously (controversial) * try to avoid assumptions that only one technical stack interacts with your database * do not waste time making ERDs use a tool that generates them (i like schemaspy) * test your DR strategy before disaster strikes * think about security model up front merlin
