  • Bringing the Redgate Seminar to Brisbane

    We’ve been on a Redgate tour this year, running lots of events to interest, educate, and inspire customers. We know that there are challenges in building and operating database software, and our goals are to help you get better.

    I’m heading to Australia in a few weeks. Hopefully on a slightly larger plane (and inside).

    The Redgate Seminar is in Brisbane on May 2. It’s an all day event where we’ll talk about how Redgate can help you solve your database management challenges, as well as bring DevOps to the database.

    We’ll open the day with a keynote on the state of the database landscape, looking at some of the things we’ve learned from research (our own and industry pieces) as well as from customers. The world of databases is on a journey and I’ll talk through some of that.

    The rest of the day has a number of sessions on products as well as panels where you can hear from not only me, but also industry experts that will join us. We’re also partnering with Octopus Deploy, and you’ll hear from their engineers as well a few of ours.

    If you can get to Brisbane, come join me. Register today and  I promise you a day of fun at the Pacific Hotel in Spring Hill. Redgate Software is a great host at events, and this is a chance to enjoy our hospitality.

    On Tuesday I have a webinar with a Redgate sales engineer: Accelerating Success: De-risking and Streamlining Releases with Flyway Enterprise. This will cover

    You can register here.

    In this webinar, we’ll look at the Flyway solution and technology, with some demos that show how this can create more reliable, repeatable deployments that catch errors or issues sooner by testing deployments multiple times.

    This is a nice, short look at Flyway, so if you haven’t seen the technology, or you have DBA deploy manually, come check this out.

    Register today and I’ll see you Tuesday.

  • The London Redgate Summit Comes on Apr 17

    I’m heading to the UK in a few weeks for the London Redgate Summit. This starts a wild period of travel for me, but I’m excited. This is the second Summit of 4 this year, and it’s a great chance for Redgate customers and prospects to learn about our three pillars of a better database environment:

    • End to End Database DevOps
    • Test Data Management
    • Monitoring

    The schedule is out, with lots of great speakers on a variety of topics. We will have lots of other Redgate engineers and others. I’ve got a few sessions that day:

    • The New Database Landscape
    • Panel: Next-Gen Database DevOps: Introducing Platform Engineering
    • Essential Practices for Seamless Database Deployments
    • Panel: Why the database is increasingly important to the boardroom

    However, there are three tracks running together: New and Future Tech, Deep Dives, and Thought Leadership. Bring a colleague (or two) and attend some different sessions and compare notes during the breaks. We’ve got a lot of info and experts, and this is a great chance to have a team outing. Or maybe a manager/technologist learning day.

    The Redgate Summit is the best chance to interact with the company and learn how we want to partner with you. And that’s what we want to do.

    We’re successful when our customers are successful.

    That’s been an internal theme at the company as we’ve moved to subscription software. We are partners now with all our customers.

    Join me at the the London Redgate Summit for a great time.
