Enabling Database Development Agility for DevOps

What does it take to make your database development as agile as your application development?

The advantages of agile development include shorter time to value, lower risk and greater flexibility. In fact, most application developers already consider agile a mainstream approach. But because databases and applications are different animals, developers have been slower to embrace agile, especially in relational environments.

Go Beyond Basic Up/Down Monitoring

Microsoft Systems Center Operations Manager (SCOM) helps IT professionals manage and monitor Windows and Linux systems within an Active Directory farm. SCOM is more a platform than a domain-specific product; its core functionality is to provide overall health alerting of Windows servers and Windows services running on a given server.

Foglight for SQL Server complements SCOM by delivering the predictive performance diagnostics and deep details that DBAs need to really understand and resolve performance issues. This paper shows how.

Unlock the Full Potential of DevOps

Many organizations are turning to DevOps to help them succeed in today’s intensely competitive markets. By embracing Database DevOps practices, which emphasize collaboration and communica­tion between development, operations and other functional areas, they can build, test and release software faster and with fewer defects.

Unfortunately, there is often one huge bottleneck in the otherwise agile DevOps workflow: database development. Organizations have been unable to easily integrate database development tasks such as functional testing of Oracle PL/SQL code or schema compare and sync into the DevOps workflow, or to implement scripts to physically deploy database changes. As a result, they have been unable to fully achieve their goals of faster release cycles and reliably high-quality code.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. Download this white paper today and discover:

  • What DevOps is (spoiler alert: it’s not just a set of continuous integration and continuous delivery tools)
  • The benefits DevOps promises, and the results organizations are already achieving
  • How quickly organizations, both large and small, are adopting DevOps
  • The three key factors to a successful DevOps program
  • Why the ideal solution will enable you to execute key database development tasks within your DevOps workflow, and which specific functionality to look for

Speed Your DevOps Pipeline by Including Database Development

DevOps can help deliver new releases faster and with fewer defects. But database development is often excluded. That’s because code testing and reviews would put a huge speedbump in the process. Until now.

In this tech brief, you’ll see how the Quest® Toad® DevOps Toolkit solution enables you to bring Oracle development into your Database DevOps pipeline, making for better and more reliable application deployments.

Discover how the Toad DevOps Toolkit makes it possible to integrate the following database development tasks into the DevOps framework:

  • Code reviews
  • Script execution
  • Database, schema and data compare and sync
  • PL/SQL unit testing

DBAs Face New Challenges: Trend in Database Administration

To gain insight into the evolving challenges for DBAs, Quest commissioned Unisphere Research to survey DBAs and those responsible for the management of the corporate data management infrastructure. The results are in and the thought-provoking findings are now available.

Among the key findings are:

  • Structured data under management continues to grow at a substantial rate, requiring DBAs to manage both more database instances and a wider variety of relational database management systems.
  • Cloud technology plays a significant role in hosting databases and that role will continue to grow. Cloud approaches will have the greatest impact on database administration over the next three years.
  • NoSQL platforms represent a smaller but important slice of the data management infrastructure.
  • Database management tools have reduced the time some DBAs must invest in some routine operations, allowing them to expand their roles in other areas. Database performance continues to be the top priority for DBAs.
  • Many DBAs are increasingly involved in application development.

Accelerate Database Efficiency with SQL Performance Investigator (PI)

Get a wealth of information at a fraction of the impact of conventional collection methods. Foglight’s SQL Performance Investigator (SQL PI) ensures optimal database performance with comprehensive database, storage and virtualization monitoring, along with advanced workload analytics. It integrates transaction workload investigations with database resource monitoring for a seamless workflow. While database resource monitoring ensures that database components operate within their limits – and alerts database administrators (DBAs) when they’re over-extended – transaction workload analysis measures and analyzes the SQL that connects users to resources, enabling management of database service levels.

Compliant Database DevOps and the role of DevSecOps

DevOps is now widely accepted in software development because, by introducing a culture of collaboration and cooperation between development and IT operations teams, it enables features to be released faster to end users. But how can the database join the conversation? Can the same principles be followed, or should they be modified? How can increasing regulatory pressure around data privacy and protection be satisfied? What additional measures should be considered so that the security of data can be protected alongside the code and truly compliant Database DevOps is achieved?

This whitepaper details how and why DevOps can be applied to the database, and then outlines the steps necessary to include it in DevSecOps.
