Leonardo Benedet
@leonardobenedet
I build reliable, zero-downtime PostgreSQL platforms for mission-critical financial systems.
BrazilWhat I'm looking for
At ContaAzul, I stabilize and modernize mission-critical PostgreSQL infrastructure for a financial ERP platform. I migrated approximately 150 PostgreSQL instances from AWS RDS to Aurora PostgreSQL with zero downtime and built the observability foundation using Prometheus, Grafana, and Alertmanager.
I design database platforms that make reliability an automated practice: partitioning billion-row tables, GitOps-driven CDC meshes, Terraform modules, and compliant backup policies. I also created Go tooling for lock-free index creation, data migrations, and automated PostgreSQL privilege management.
My background spans frontend engineering, developer experience, and database reliability, giving me a practical understanding of the full software lifecycle. I contribute to the PostgreSQL community through pg_lens, a terminal-based monitoring and observability tool.
