Get a handle on your CI/CD process
Proposed session for SQLBits 2026TL; DR
Getting features delivered fast is a no-brainer in todays cloud, agile and fast paced online world. But delivering features in a SaaS online application is relatively easy compared to database changes. Of course there a tools to assist you but most of then focus on the technical side of things.
In this session I will demonstrate the concept of CI/CD in general and specific to databases. The focus will not be on the tools but on the concepts. And why some things will work while other might give you unpredicted results. Thinking about your model, how to apply changes, how to handle datatype changes can help you in a smoother transition when it comes to databases deployments.
You will walk away with a lot more conceptual tools and trades to take you database solution into the future.
