The Challenge of Database DevOps

[MUSIC PLAYING] As a database professional, you know there's never a moment to rest. You're under pressure from your business to build, test, and release software changes faster. Your application releases are already automated and quickly implemented. But problems arise when your application changes depend on database changes. Unfortunately, database releases typically follow a waterfall process, with mostly manual elements like code reviews. There are even some elements, like unit testing, that aren't even part of the process, which can lead to defects in production. You're tired of application releases that are frequently delayed when database changes are required. You're not sure how to bring database processes into your DevOps infrastructure, while maintaining data integrity and security. And you certainly can't make compromises in your attempt to shorten release cycles. You're also worried about commercial database vendors being too expensive and locking you into their technology stack. And of course, you don't want to discover that your competition is innovating faster than you are. Obviously, you know there's a need to change, but you aren't sure how to effectively implement these changes. What you need is a way to automate your database development and deployment processes, whilst maintaining the essential checks on code integrity and quality. This will enable you to release database changes reliably and at the same pace as your application deployments. With database DevOps solutions from Quest, you can code, test, and deploy changes quickly and effectively.
