About RedgateOver 600,000 technology professionals worldwide use Redgate tools, including 91% of

fortune 100 companies.

Our philosophy is to design highly usable, reliable tools that solve problems commonly

faced by DBAs and developers. And learning and sharing is at the heart of what we do.

The challenge of integrating databases into DevOps processes

• Business-critical data needs to be safely and correctly preserved

• Databases carry state that needs to be managed as part of rolling out

new or updating existing software

Poor Database Deployment Effects• Databases are out of pace with application development

• Little or no traceability of database changes

• Inability to roll back to the previous version of a database

• Databases become a bottleneck in agile delivery processes

• Releases are less frequent and more risky

• Manual database processes prevent you from utilizing CI and CD to their full extent

• Deployments require a lot of Dev and DBA hours

Benefits of DLM & Database DevOps

• Repeatability of processes, giving:

• Greater predictability over releases

• Efficiency by eliminating the repetition of a range of manual activities

• Faster speed of response to change through:

• The automated deployment of smaller units of change

• Greater reliability of the release process by:

• Providing a series of automated test stages prior to deployment

The Bottom Line

The 2016 State of DevOps report found that:

• IT performance strongly correlates with practices such as version control and

continuous delivery.

• High-performing IT organizations are more agile and reliable, deploying code 200

times more frequently with 3 times lower change failure rate.

• Firms with high-performing IT organizations are twice as likely to exceed their

profitability, market share, and productivity goals.
