If developers are from Mars and testers are from Venus, your database administrator is stuck in Saturn. By nature, the database—and specifically the data it carries—has to remain stable even as the application code on top of it is changing faster than Donald Trump’s staff. When it comes to the speed of your release cycle, […]
Of DevOps, Databases and DBAs
If you’re on a DevOps team looking for additional efficiencies, you are likely to find them in the realm of database management. The arrival of DevOps did nothing to diminish the responsibilities traditionally associated with database administrators (DBAs). Rather, some of those duties have been redistributed across the team—sometimes explicitly, but more often implicitly. For […]

Quest Software Aims to Mend DevOps Fences for DBAs
It’s no secret there’s been a lot of contention between application developers, who are under pressure to build applications faster, and database administrators (DBAs), who are charged with providing those developers with access to data. Historically, developers have been dependent on DBAs to create schemas that would allow them to access data. But it takes […]
Quest Software Extends DevOps Reach to MySQL Databases
Thanks mainly to the rise of DevOps, the number of open-source database deployments in the enterprise has risen sharply in the last two years. The driving force behind those deployments has been developers that have shown a marked preference for downloading an open-source database instead of requesting access to a commercial database from a database […]
Using Application Deltas in Deployments
Developers have been versioning their source files since the early days of Unix. Anyone else remember SCCS? Back in those days, storage was at a premium: Disks were small and very expensive and it was too inefficient to store a complete copy of each version of the source file. So version control tools would simply […]
Jobs-as-Code: The Business Processing DevOps Forgot
Developing web and mobile apps is cool. But in the words of a longtime ballad: “Don’t forget who’s taking you home and in whose arms you’re gonna be …” It’s the back-end services that underpin a lot of those cool apps and make them possible. So yes, servers and relational databases and enterprise applications and […]

DevOps Doesn’t Stop at the Database
DevOps has moved into the mainstream and practices such as continuous delivery now are being widely adopted. But what about the database? Applications often have a back-end database that needs to be developed and maintained at the same time. At first glance, there doesn’t seem to be an issue. The recent “State of Database DevOps […]
Database Bottlenecks: The Hidden Cause of App Slow Downs?
Performance problems can cripple mission-critical business apps. If you are lucky enough, your solution could be as easy as adding more WAN bandwidth, a few extra servers or a content delivery network, but the real problem arises when your database becomes your biggest bottleneck. When performance issues adversely impact the applications that keep your business […]
