7. Only 13% are actually performing basic CD practices for the DB!
Manual work:
cant scale, cant match CD frequency
not repeatable, prone to error
Continuous Delivery is big and getting bigger, but...

8. Only 13% automate…
the rest do manual steps…

10. Media Coverage

11. Business Value Proposition
 10X Faster time to market
 Accelerate the overall application release process by automating the database which is currently the slowest/weakest
link
 15% Increase in team efficiency & productivity
 Deliver more new database driven business applications with the same # of developers
 Significantly reduce the time spent on writing and revising database scripts
 Manage the growing volume and increased frequency of changes
 80% Reduction in application downtime due to human errors
 Leverage Impact Analysis of database changes in order to identify & resolve conflicts
 Automatically create database update scripts to eliminate human errors
 100% Control, 100% Compliance - control and audit who, does what, when and why!
 Enforced Version/Source Control
 Enhanced security through Roles & Responsibilities segregation
 Audit trail

12. What is the problem?
▪ Root Causes for issues:
− Challenging manual source control process
− Static deployments code overrides and configuration drift
− Dynamic deployments tools unaware of version control
− No release automation red-flags – don’t know when to stop the line…

13. File Version Control Process

Challenge with static scripts…
Configuration drift…

15. Safe to automate?
Sure… (?)
Challenge with ‘Compare & Sync’

16. Safe to automate?
No. Requires manual inspection…
Challenge with ‘Compare & Sync’

17. A compare & sync tool:
▪ Is unaware of any changes that occurred before the time it ran
▪ Has no knowledge of changes that took place at the target environment
▪ Does not leverage version control for more information
▪ Unable to deal with conflicts & merges between different teams
▪ Requires manual inspection
▪ Requires detailed knowledge regarding
each change as part of the process
So…no automation…
We fear for automating problems into
production and a major risk!!!

24. ￭ Understand the nature of the changes
￭ Raise red flags on conflicts
￭ Support out-of-process changes
￭ Utilize baseline aware analysis

25. If we had the index in the baseline (previous version) and no longer in Dev (i.e. - removed)
=> we should take it down from production…
