We're excited to welcome Himali Joshi to the team as our newest QA Lead here at ProTop!  🎉

With over 5 years of experience in QA, Himali is passionate about helping teams deliver reliable, high-quality products and crafting a great user experience. She loves being part of the process that gives customers confidence every time they use our products.

Most recently, Himali has been working on digital payment solutions in the fintech space, where she focused on testing complex payment flows, catching issues early, and helping ensure a smooth, frustration-free experience for end users.

Outside of work, you will often find Himali exploring parks and discovering new places around Montreal with her family. She enjoys being outdoors and turning weekends into mini adventures.

Planning family outings with two young kids often requires as much coordination as managing a project at work, and Himali brings that same thoughtful, organized mindset to our QA efforts.

We are thrilled to have her on board and cannot wait to see the impact she will have on our products and our customers.

Welcome to the team, Himali!

To the dads and father figures who fix what’s broken, prevent what could go wrong, and somehow still show up with patience, guidance, and bad dad jokes on standby: Thank you. You are appreciated.

Happy Father’s Day

When a DBA does their job perfectly, nothing breaks and nobody notices. But that kind of “invisibility” is actually a highly skilled trade:

- Anticipating failure before it shows up in an alert
- Reading subtle signals long before users feel the pain
- Quietly keeping your OpenEdge databases and apps alive, hour after hour

If you’ve ever slept better because you trust the person watching your OpenEdge environment, you probably have a great DBA in your corner.

Today’s a good day to thank them. Tag one below and tell them what you appreciate most about their craft.

Paul Koufalis has arrived in Nantes!

He's in town for two Progress OpenEdge events, and he didn't waste a minute before soaking up the local culture. First stop: the stunning Basilique Saint-Nicolas, whose soaring spire towers over the old town. (Fitting that Paul kicked things off under the watch of a saint. Let's hope a little of that blessing carries into his session! 😄)

Over the next two days, Paul can't wait to connect with the OpenEdge community at these two great events:
📍 OpenEdge World Tour 2026 – Nantes: June 3
📍 PUG France: June 4

Join Paul at 2:30 PM during PUG France for "OpenEdge Startup Parameters: the Good, the Bad and the Obscure." It's a deep dive into the startup settings that quietly shape your database's performance, stability, and risk, including a few almost nobody talks about.

Are you in Nantes this week? Come say bonjour! Paul would love to meet you. 👋

Monitoring isn’t just about “is it up or down?” The best DBAs use that data as leverage. The ones who stand out use that same data to make decisions that matter beyond the server room.

Three ways monitoring data becomes business leverage:
1. Make tech debt impossible to ignore: When recurring waits, bottlenecks, and noisy alerts all point to the same weak spot, you're not asking for a fix anymore, you're presenting a risk.

2. Walk into budget meetings prepared: "This metric has climbed 20% month-over-month. Here's when we hit the wall." Trend lines and peak usage do the talking for you.

3. Turn war stories into real training: Replay past incidents with your juniors: what signals mattered, what you checked first, what you missed. Monitoring gives those stories structure.

👉 Which of these sounds most familiar to you? And what's one other way you've turned monitoring data into leverage?

Today in the United States, Memorial Day honors those who lost their lives in military service.

While we would always prefer a world at peace, we pause today to express gratitude for those who did not come home, and respect for the families and communities who carry their memory.

If this day touches you or someone close to you, we’re holding space with you.

Wow, what an event. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at PUG Baltic in Tallinn! The energy, the questions, and all the connections. This is why we show up. The OpenEdge community in this region keeps proving how sharp, generous, and fun it is to work with.

If you caught Paul Koufalis's "A Day in the Life of a DBA" in Tallinn or missed it this time, we'd love to see you at the next stops on the tour:
- OpenEdge World Tour 2026 – Nantes on June 3, 2026
- PUG France on June 4, 2026

Paul will be bringing a brand new session to France: "OpenEdge Startup Parameters: the Good, the Bad and the Obscure," where he digs into the settings that quietly shape your database performance, stability, and risk profile.

See you in France!
