Quest Forum Digital Event 2020
DevOps concepts, practices, and tools have spread widely in the past decade as teams look to improve their ability to deliver working software swiftly and reliably. These concepts and tools are important for people involved in all aspects of software development, delivery, and support to understand.
This session provides an overview of core concepts and mindsets of DevOps, typical DevOps tools and patterns of usage of those tools, and how all of this relates to your database. Key areas of focus will be the use of source code management tools such as GitHub, automated testing, Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment tools such as Concourse, CI/CD-enabling database tools such as Liquibase, and Infrastructure as Code.
Examples of how a database support team has adopted these practices and tools will be given along with lessons learned along the way including thoughts on how best to get started if you’re just beginning to explore DevOps for your database environment.
