4. POLL: Why are you here? Session Title Learn about
tsqlt
Database Deployments
There was nothing else on at the moment
Any other reasons?

5. Session overview Ways to deploy to production
Why is it important to have a good release pipeline
Deployment techniques
Demo Time

6. What is the typical flow for releasing code?
Just do it
Development
Production 1 3 2 5 4 6 7 8 9 10

7. Pros and Cons of Just do it
Quick fixes
Simple process
Cons
Risky fixes
More chance of bugs being fixed and then breaking again
Not easy to see what a version of a component/object was in the past
Only really ever dev test
Manual testing need to be repeated ever release

8. What is the typical flow for releasing code?
We use Source Control
Development
Production 1 2 3 6 4 5

9. Pros and Cons of We use Source Control
Bug fixes have no impact on production because they in the dev space
Simple process
All objects are versioned
History of an object
Comments for commits so you can potentially see why changes were made and by who
Cons
Only really ever dev test
Manual testing need to be repeated ever release

10. What is the typical flow for releasing code?
Release pipeline
Development
Production
Integration 1 2 3 6 7 5 8 9 10 11 4

11. Pros and Cons of Release pipeline
Bug fixes have no impact on production because they in the dev space
Automated
Builds (compile / package software and run unit tests)
Integration Testing (replaces / minimizes manual testing)
Deployments (repeatable which minimizes inconsistences)
All objects are versioned
History of an object
Comments for commits so you can potentially see why changes were made and by who
Fixes get to production faster with higher quality
Cons
“Complicated” process

12. Summary of typical flow for releasing code?
Just do it
We use Source Control
Release pipeline
Anything else?

13. Why is a good release pipeline important?
Bugs cost you more the longer they’re there
Bugs in a component with lots of technical debt
Dev < Integration < QA < Staging < Production (“real money”?)
Consistency
Less key man reliance for getting code into production
Release often and fast
Improved Quality
Measurable
Allows you to better experiment with A/B testing

14. Deployment techniques
Manual
Copy & Paste
Keep changes in a script and then run in production
Schema Compare
???
Automated
Power Shell scripts
Walk source control tree and apply changes since last release
Code first*
Database project generated scripts

15. Our Demo App TODO Base css template from http://todomvc.com/
ASP.net MVC with Web API for the server side
Microsoft SQL Server 2016

16. DEMO Let’s see the app What does the existing code look like
tsqlt? What?
Setup Team Build
Create a release
Add some app functionality to see it all come together

After all RSA SQL Saturdays there will be a blog post on that has a recording of this session for reference if wanted.
