👉 Database engineering is a specialized field that focuses on the design, development, and maintenance of database systems to ensure efficient data storage, retrieval, and management. It involves creating robust architectures that support scalability, reliability, and performance, often using advanced technologies like NoSQL databases, distributed systems, and cloud platforms. Database engineers are responsible for optimizing query performance, ensuring data integrity through constraints and transactions, implementing security measures, and managing database schemas and migrations. They also collaborate closely with application developers to understand data requirements and design systems that meet business needs, all while adhering to best practices in data modeling, indexing, and replication.
