    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.

  • 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.

  • Off to SQL Saturday Salt Lake City … on Friday

    I’m off on Thursday for Salt Lake City and a SQL Saturday on Friday. SQL Saturday Salt Lake City 2024 is happening, and I’m glad I get to go. I was looking forward to this last year, but it got postponed with venue issues. This year, the timing worked well since I am coaching Sat/Sun/Mon already, so this was an easy trip for me.

    I’ll be presenting my Architecting Zero Downtime Deployments session, looking at splitting up deployments and coordinating with feature flags in your application.

    The schedule has some great sessions. A mix of SQL Server, PostgreSQL, design/modeling, and more.

    If you’re in/near/willing to go to Salt Lake City, come join me Friday, Apr 5. You can register here.

  • Apr 9 Webinar: Accelerating Success: De-risking and Streamlining Releases with Flyway Enterprise

    UPDATE: This moved to Apr 9

    Join me Tuesday, Apr 9 for a webinar, 10:00am CDT. You can register here and then come watch live with questions or get the recording.

    In this webinar, we’ll look at how the Flyway suite of tools can help your team better build and manage database deployments. I love Flyway, and it does a lot of things I was doing in 2001 when DevOps wasn’t even a term and we were releasing every week.

    You can do the same thing, with some of the advanced things Flyway brings to the table that you don’t have to build and maintain.

    • script generation
    • code analysis rules
    • change and drift reports
    • a comprehensive view for impact assessment

    There’s more, but join us on Thursday by registering today

    Tell your friends as well, pass this along, and bring your questions.
