My Session at Oracle AI World: KNEX - Autonomous Database Journey

My Session at Oracle AI World: KNEX - Autonomous Database Journey


From this year onwards, Oracle has rebranded its flagship annual conference — Oracle Cloud World — to Oracle AI World, reflecting the company’s strong focus on Artificial Intelligence and its deep integration across Oracle products and solutions.

I was glad and truly honored to be part of this prestigious global event — not just as an attendee, but as a speaker representing real-world expertise and customer success stories.

My session, titled “Oracle Autonomous Database Best Practices and Lessons Learned: Customer Panel,” drew a full house of participants eager to explore practical insights and proven approaches for maximizing the value of Oracle Autonomous Database. The discussion was vibrant, with attendees keen to understand how AI-driven automation and optimization are transforming data management and performance tuning.

It was an incredible experience to share the stage with industry experts, exchange ideas, and connect with professionals from around the world — all united by the vision of making data smarter with AI.

I had covered following key topics:
- Our development use cases
- Evaluation criteria for adopting Autonomous Database
- Building blocks of our architecture
- Key lessons learned and takeaways from our implementation journey

It was an honor to co-present alongside Holger Friedrich, Sreedhar Mohan, Amar Kumar, and Peter Merkert, who shared their valuable experiences with the audience.

A truly amazing experience at Oracle AI World — learning, connecting, and exchanging ideas with the global community.

Many thanks to Vivek Sharma and Reiner Zimmermann for the opportunity to share our story on such a prestigious global platform.
Special thanks to Basheer Khan and Hadi Syed Abdul for all their continuous support throughout this journey.
