This session addresses the need for changes in organizational structure, process and technology necessary to arrive at a nimble, fast, automatable and continuous database deployment process.
The pace of business accelerates fairly continuously and application development moves right with it. But we're still trying to deploy databases the same way we did 10 years ago. This session addresses the need for changes in organizational structure, process and technology necessary to arrive at a nimble, fast, automatable and continuous database deployment process. We'll use actual customer case studies to illustrate both the common methods and the unique context that led to a continuous delivery process that is best described as a pipeline. You will learn how to customize common practices and tool sets to build a database deployment pipeline unique to your environment in order to speed your own database delivery while still protecting your organization's most valuable asset, its data.
You will learn:
- About the process changes needed to support a stream-lined database deployment mechanism
- Details on the necessary business process changes needed to apply agile methods to databases
- See multiple case studies showing how different organizations used unique, but similar, techniques to completely rearrange their deployment processes in order to arrive at faster, but safe, database deployments
