Some of the main responsibilities in this role would be to assess the performance and scalability of the main RDS cluster, spot changes that could be made and potentially help split the database into separate ones for more specific uses. Some other things you would be doing in this role is for example fixing slow queries to be faster and adjust queries that fetch data that is not really used.
In this role we also wish the consultant could help with the documentation and also communicate the findings to the devs and coach them when needed.
