This Friday is the NYC DevOps Devour hour, which is actually 3 hours. Plus a happy hour.
I’ll be there with Kendra Little and Erik Darling talking about DevOps stuff. You can register now and join me in Manhattan from 12:00-3:00p at the 3rd Avenue Industrious office.
We’ll be talking performance problems, cloud migration, and deployment architecture. Come join us if you can.
Tomorrow is the Redgate DevOps Day in Atlanta. You can still sign up, so do that if you can make it. Here’s the rough outline
Lunch is provided and I’m looking forward to this. I’m traveling from Baton Rouge today to Atlanta (probably right now), coming from a customer visit.
Register and come see me in Atlanta tomorrow
After missing last year, SQL Saturday New York City is back in 2025. I’m excited to go to the event and honored to speak there. I love visiting New York and I’m looking forward to the trip, as is Mrs Way0utwest, who is coming along for a little vacation. Hopefully we’ll find a fun show to see Saturday night.
There is a precon this year from Andreas Wolter, longtime SQL Server Program Manager at Microsoft. It’s on practical performance tuning and troubleshooting, and you can register and attend on Friday.
Saturday has a great schedule the includes a wide variety of topics. Data virtualization, Power BI, development in a 24/7 environment, Cost optimization, and of course, a lot of Fabric. I’ll be talking about the Data API Builder, which is a cool piece of tech to quickly get those CRUD apps going.
Pass the word, and come into the city on May 11 for a fun event. Register today and I’ll see you later this week.
SQL Saturday Austin 2025 is in just a few days. I am honored to be speaking there, and glad to be going back. I’ve missed a number of the Austin events with schedule conflicts, but things worked out well this year, and I’ll be at the event.
The schedule is out and it’s packed with some great sessions. I’ll be talking about zero downtime deployments, but there are some other nice ones:
and plenty more. I’m sad to miss Conor Cunningham’s talk, but we’re at the same time.
There’s also a Pre-con on Friday about Fabric if you want to attend. It’s a great chance to get very reasonable training at a low cost.
If you’re anywhere near Austin, some out this Saturday and join us for a great day of learning.
Now I’m off to pack as I leave tomorrow to head to the Redgate office in Austin for the rest of the week before the big event.
