Database DevOps: Why, What, and How
Alex Yates, 2 days, $1,995*
Managing database changes is hard. Come and learn how to do it properly.
We’ll explain in straightforward terms what DevOps is (and what it isn’t) as well as dissecting the concepts of ‘continuous integration’, ‘continuous delivery’ and ‘continuous deployment’. We’ll also discuss the various ways of applying the ideas in practice.
Over the course of two days you’ll build your own source control, testing and automated deployment solution for SQL Server, equipping you with the knowledge and the skills you need to significantly improve your team’s ability to deliver database updates regularly and reliably.
In the spirit of DevOps, we welcome attendees from both the dev and DBA sides of the fence.
About the instructor: Alex Yates has been helping organisations to apply DevOps principles to relational database development and deployment since 2010. He’s most proud of helping Skyscanner develop the ability to deploy 95 times a day. Originally for Redgate, later for DLM Consultants, Alex has worked with clients on every continent except Antarctica – so he’s keen to meet anyone who researches penguins. A keen community member, he co-organises SQL Relay and is the founder of www.SpeakingMentors.com.

Practical Real World Performance Tuning
Pinal Dave, 4 hours, $495*
In the real world when we face any performance problems, we do not have the luxury to open PowerPoint and study theory. What helps us during the time of crisis are handy scripts which help us fix our performance problems.
In this quick paced, demonstration oriented learning workshop, we will see how we can immediately help our application with performance if we just know what exactly to do.
Following the practices in this 4-hour workshop can help mitigate your current performance problems but also helps you to put your preventive action plans.
