3. What is Database DevOps all about?
Database DevOps is the ‘second
age of DevOps’ operations that
organizations are slowly adopting.
It is all about incorporating
database code changes into the
DevOps processes.

4. Centralizing Source Control
Synchronizing with CI/CD
Pipelines
Continuous Testing and
Monitoring
The Database DevOps process consists
of 3 main tasks ( of course, closely
similar to implementing DevOps for
application development).

Database DevOps processes: Three tasks, one solution!

5. What’s the need for Database DevOps?
Database management is all about maintaining the state of the existing database and
protecting the data despite the code changes.
In the worst-case scenario, DBAs don’t even have the option to roll back a faulty
application version after changing codes on the database – data restoration is time-
consuming and very expensive.
This is one of the reasons DBAs work carefully and follow methodological approaches
to ensure that there are minimal application risks.
Overcoming this challenge is necessary if you want to keep up with the demanding
market growth and competitors.
The solution is to enable DevOps for database management.

6. Let’s take a look at the benefits brought about by database DevOps for various roles.

Shorter iterations for better data management.
Consistent builds, testing, deployment, and release processes through version control.
Keeping on track with application CI/CD processes for faster releases.
Automating database provisioning and configuration management.
Improved communication and collaboration with development and operations teams.
The DBA's concern is to ensure that the code changes are verified, tested, and monitored, keeping in mind
that it does not affect the application’s performance and availability.

10. Steps for Database DevOps implementation
Understanding your business requirements
Creating a database project
Integrating the source code
Implementing CI/CD processes
Testing the database
How you implement database DevOps for your work
processes determine its success and the business
benefits your organization would receive in the long run.
While every organization would have its own
implementation process, there are some standard steps to
follow:

11. Work inefficiency with
traditional operational tools
01
Dependency while data
provisioning
02
Rollback challenges with data
persistency
03
Addressing the challenges of Database DevOps
Tightly-coupled architecture
04

12. Conclusion
If eliminating all bottlenecks is your priority, then
extending DevOps culture into the database should
be your first task.
It might come across as a challenging
implementation that would involve enormous risks
and investment, but all it requires are simple
changes in team structure, collaboration, and
following the best practices.
