Case study: Spawn your own Junior DBA with SQL MonitorRed Gate Software
Tjay Belt, SQL Server MVP. Presentation at SQL in The City 2016.
Wouldn't it be great if you had a reliable Junior DBA to watch your systems while you were away?
Each of our database systems has its complexities, its idiosyncrasies, its touchy points.
Digging into each of these, understanding them, baselining them and monitoring them is an essential part of a DBA's job.
Doing these simple tasks in such a way that allows you to sleep at night while your systems churn away safely and gracefully is an art we all strive to accomplish.
Let's discuss how you can leverage SQL Monitor from Redgate as well as other tools, approaches, and solutions to monitor different pieces of our systems.
Examples, code, tools, will all be shown off and shared so we can all do better.
Case study: 13 Common Mistakes Organizations Make With DLM and How to Solve ThemRed Gate Software
Ike Ellis, SQL Server MVP - presentation at SQL in the City
At its most fun, software development is a team sport. Think of an NFL team. Does the quarterback know where the running back or tight-end will be? Does he do his job in a vacuum or with coordination and support from his teammates?
However, if the teammate isn't doing what they're supposed to do, the play dissolves and leads not only to losing a game, but also individual dissatisfaction. Come to this session to learn how to coordinate and communicate as a team, improving individual and overall developer effectiveness.
Uwe Ricken at SQL in the City 2016.
Waits, as they’re known in the SQL Server world, indicate that a worker thread inside SQL Server is waiting for a resource to become available before it can proceed with executing. They’re often a major source of performance issues.
In this session, we’ll walk through an optimal performance troubleshooting process for a variety of scenarios, and illustrate both the strengths and weaknesses of using a waits-only approach to troubleshooting.
A practical approach to version control for SQL Server - By Steve JonesRed Gate Software
Steve Jones presentation at SQL in the City 2016.
Chances are, your team has several point-in-time backups for your databases. After all, they’re essential for recovering the system in an emergency. And, chances are, you’ve got a version control system (VCS) to provide the same capabilities for your applications.
But what about version control for the database, too?
Come to this session to see how you can create a more efficient database development platform by integrating your VCS with SQL Server. In real-time, you’ll see how versioning, branching, merging, and the other manual tasks you hate can fade away with just a few tips, tricks, and tools.
Databases create a real challenge for automation and dealing with database deployments is a complex process. Databases contain our most valuable information, business data, which must be preserved and protected at all costs and yet the automation processes for database deployment are not widely adopted.
The future of DevOps: fully left-shifted deployments with version control and...Red Gate Software
Join us to see Redgate's latest database DevOps innovations, which empower developers to code in the IDEs of their choice, version control database changes in plain SQL, and easily validate their changes against a masked copy of production as soon as they make the change.

Key findings from the 2020 state of database dev ops reportRed Gate Software
The results are in! Join our expert panel, Kendra Little, Kellyn Pot’Vin Gorman & Grant Fritchey, to dig into key findings from Redgate’s fourth annual State of Database DevOps Report and learn how to use these insights to drive improvements in your own software development process.
Our webinar panel this year includes specialists with expertise in both Oracle and SQL Server, as well as experience implementing and managing Agile methodologies and compliant database DevOps in Enterprise environments.
We will share key findings and insights from this year’s report, which received input from more than two thousand developers, DBAs, and IT leaders worldwide, representing all industry verticals. Topics will include:
• Frequent database deployments are increasing: 49% of respondents now report they deploy database changes to production weekly or more frequently;
• The two top perceived obstacles to implementing DevOps are now concerns about upskilling and disruption to existing workflows. We will discuss how business cases to implement database DevOps should address these concerns;
• Developers are now involved in the majority of production database deployments, continuing an increasing trend we have seen across four years of this study. We will discuss what this means for both developers and DBAs;
• Most respondents deploy changes to their most business-critical databases while the system is online. Those who perform all or nearly all deployments with the system online reported lower lead time for changes and lower defect rates. We will discuss why this makes sense and how teams achieve this;
• Respondents who report that it is easy to get a code review for database changes also report lower production defect rates and lower lead time for changes to be deployed to production. We will discuss how to optimize database code review for different organization and team sizes.
Your business depends on rapidly deploying high-quality changes to databases while minimizing risk to data.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
