Why it earns its place
The book that named the role. Almost everything else written about databases addresses either the developer writing queries or the DBA guarding a server, and this addresses neither: it applies SRE practice — service levels, risk, operational visibility — to data stores. Older than the tooling it mentions, and still the only coherent account of what the job is.
