Architecting Zero Downtime Deployment Resources–Albany Day of Data
Thanks to those who attended my session at Day of Data Albany 2026. I’m posting this to help you find the resources from the talk.
Slides: ArchitectZeroDowntime_SQLSatAlbany2026
GitHub Repo: https://github.com/way0utwest/ZeroDowntime
The GitHub repo has the code for the database setup and demos (and teardown) in the SQL folder. This creates the db, login/user, schema, and data.
The VS project is in the DBClient folder. I don’t think this is updated beyond .Net 4.6 (?), but feel free to update it. There isn’t anything special about this project. It was developer in VS 2019, but I ran it from VS2022 on Saturday, and I believe I upgraded my local project to .NET 4.8 last week. I haven’t committed this back as I don’t want to push this forward yet.
If you have questions, feel free to contact me.

Day of Data Baton Rouge Slides and Code
Thanks to everyone for attending my talk today at Day of data Baton Rouge 2026 (formerly SQL Saturday Baton Rouge).
The slides are here: Building an API with DAB – Baton Rouge
The repo for the code and demos is here: DAB-Experiments
Use the Getting Started folder for the setup and demos as batch files. This is for SQL Server with a user set as JoeUser. Change this in the .env file if you want to alter this. I use Northwind, with a few additions in the .sql files.
Apologies, it’s not completely organized as I am still working on the flow and structure. feel free to reach out with questions.
