1. The Future of Database Development
DevOps is a hot topic in today’s software development world. However most of the knowledge and experience with DevOps is based around application software and ignores the database. We will examine how the concepts and principles of DevOps can be applied to database development by looking at both automated comparison analysis as well as migration script management. Automated building, testing, and deployment of database changes will be shown.

4. Getting Started I got a new gig…
They're letting me do web development!!!!
I don’t want to worry about databases
I don’t have SQL installed
I have cloned the source code

5. SQL Server
Shared Account database
PostgreSQL
Todo database

6. I get a login to Spawn (DBaaS)

7. Demo Getting a new developer started Nothing installed Cloned project
Spawn login
Yarn start

8. Branching A typical concern is I want to try something
However, I don’t want to disturb other’s work
Branches allow me to experiment and commit separately
I can discard these, recreate these as needed, which means I want the database to do the same.
I can merge in changes that work

9. Demo
Branching
- Checkout new branch
- Getting a new data container

10. Oops, I did it again Often, I make some mistakes in development
Usually, I can’t remember or don’t know the code to reset the database
This is frustrating because app code just resets

11. Demo
Reset
Delete/change data
Spawnctl reset data-container

12. Independent Validation with CI
We want to check changes
Avoid the "it works on my machine"
I want my CI process to be simple

13. Demo
Continuous Integration

14. Building Images DBA needs to help manage schema and data in the image
How do I create a new image?
Make changes and graduate
Update a version and distribute out

15. Demo Container Management
spawnctl save data-container demo-account-steve
spawnctl graduate data-container demo-account-steve --name steveimage --team red-gate:sharks --tag v1 --revision rev.0
Container Management

16. Summary Containers make development easy(-ier)
Handle branching easily for experimentation
Reset immediately
Parallelize testing with a database
Lightweight and reduce setup
DBAs still have control
