Devops is a way of thinking about collaboration between DBAs managing Oracle & SQL Server with their development counterparts creating applications that depend on the databases. Most software developers ignore the impact of their code on the SQL Server or Oracle back end, assuming a DBA will worry about the performance. But most application failures are not binary, they are the result of degraded performance by queries in the database. 70% of performance failures originate at the database layer. This short Ignite presentation (1 minute per slide, auto advance) was presented at DevOps Days Austin in April 2013, giving just a taste of the benefits to developers of collaborating with their database operations DBA counterparts.
