A Database DevOps Pipeline

Session en Anglais - Débutant

Are your automation practices accounting for the database? How do you verify database software quality? Most importantly, how do you care for customer data as the schema evolves? Let's dig into building a CI/CD pipeline for databases. We'll leverage Red Gate tools and containers for automation, testing, and push-button deployment. You can bring DevOps to the database.

Database DevOps with Containers

Session en Anglais - Intermédiaire

Unlike CI/CD pipelines for applications, we can't just delete the database and pop up a new one with each new version. Let's start with the production database, and get SQL Server content to developers in containers, and then flow schema and lookup data back into production with migration tools. You can bring the reliability and automation of CI/CD pipelines to Database DevOps with containers.
