  • SQL in the City in Melbourne on June 14

    As a part of our down under tour, SQL in the City comes to Melbourne on June 14. It’s a day before SQL Saturday #865 – Melbourne. If you’re anywhere close, and I know there’s not a lot of cities close by, but come take two days and get lots of Database DevOps and SQL Server training for a very low cost. I’m hoping for a good turnout and the chance to come back again next year.

    Register today for a full day of training, including a catered lunch, and listen to talks about DevOps and Redgate products on Friday, then come back to SQL Saturday 24 hours later.

    I’m excited for the event. We completed our London Summit a few weeks ago and it went very well. I’m taking over the keynote from Kendra and also doing a Monitoring session as well as covering privacy and the panel.

    It’s going to be an exciting day, so if you want to improve your Database DevOps process, in a Compliant way, sign up and come on June 14.

  • More Software Quality with DevOps and CD

    Tomorrow is the SQL in the City Summit in London. Right now I’m in a Heathrow airport hotel, finalizing some prep for the event. I have to run a panel as well as give a talk, Building quality into your continuous delivery process, that will cover some of the ways that we can improve quality by moving to DevOps.

    That’s a passion of mine because I want better software quality. I know it’s hard, believe me, after the SQLServerCentral migration, I remember how hard it is. I also know that this was a few steps forward with a few backward, and across time, this is a big move forward.

    That’s how DevOps will go, especially as you implement it. That was some of what we did, with a complete change in underlying architecture, a software pipeline, and new methods for deploying changes. It’s painful, and we likely went too soon, but we also had external constraints that forced some change.

    Hopefully I’ll see some of you tomorrow and have some advice for you on how to improve quality within your organization. Culture is the big item, and I talked a bit about this at SQL in the City Streamed. Watch that and let me know what you think.
