Art Van Scheppingen is a pragmatic Data Solution Architect and database reliability specialist with two decades of hands-on experience designing, automating, and operating large-scale MySQL environments across cloud and on-prem platforms. He has led teams and transformations—shifting DBAs from operational firefighting to self-sufficient, development-aligned teams—and reduced recovery times through CI/CD-tested backups and infrastructure as code using Ansible and Terraform. Deep expertise spans ProxySQL, Galera, Vitess, MongoDB and observability stacks like Prometheus/Graphite, with a track record of migrating and tuning databases for GCP, AWS and OpenShift. He combines architectural vision with gritty implementation (from writing MySQL StatsD exporters to deploying 28TB Vitess archives) and has presented his work at Percona Live and FOSDEM. Based in North Holland, he pairs leadership in public-sector and scale-up contexts with a history of community-driven projects dating back to running an automotive-owner forum and tooling he open-sourced.
