Software defects have been with us forever, and while DevOps and agile can reduce the number of defects generated, it is unlikely this number will ever get to zero for a given organization—and even if it does, it won’t likely stay there. Simply put, we’re developing increasingly complex systems on increasingly short timelines. The reduction […]
Datical Helps Pull DBAs into Modern DevOps Age
As organizations move to embrace DevOps, some have inadvertently left database administrators (DBAs) behind. As a result, developers increasingly find themselves managing databases, as DBAs can’t keep up with the rate of change introduced by DevOps processes. To help narrow that growing gap between developers and DBAs, Datical created a namesake platform that applies continuous […]

Standardization, De Facto Style
The first decade or so of DevOps had one truth to it: It was about change. Not just change in the way that IT worked, but change in the way DevOps worked—particularly in the tools space, where products and product preferences both are in flux. We’re still seeing a massive change, but increasingly the effect […]
