Who was responsible for controlling and managing databases in your last project?

In my last project, database control and management were carried out by a dedicated DBA (Database Administrator). They were responsible for configuration, backup, query optimization, and performance monitoring. Within the development team, we interacted with the DBA to ensure proper use of the data schema and security.

Additionally, part of the database management was automated through migration scripts (such as Flyway or Liquibase), which were run during the CI/CD process to update the database structure without downtime.
