Developing databases and Azure Data Factory pipelines is just the beginning. Once the code has been committed to source control, moving code between environments can be cumbersome in a manual environment. When multiple databases are involved or database changes need to be deployed with ADF pipeline changes, tracking the proper builds of each solution is critical. Otherwise, the quality assurance team may test incompatible builds, leading to wasted time and potentially allowing unsupported changes to be deployed together. 
 
This session will introduce database developers and administrators to build and release pipelines in Azure Data Factory. Participants will gain hand-on experience, working with a demonstration database and a set of Data Factory artefacts to deploy to a target environment. Additionally, PowerShell will be used to do basic tests to ensure the database and ADF artifacts were deployed correctly. There are many nuances and advanced settings in Dev Ops, which will not be covered in this course.

Automate Database Deployments with Azure Pipelines

DevOps is a widespread and popular set of practices, tools, and philosophies used to improve and accelerate the system's development life cycle. DevOps automates and integrates the processes between software development teams (“Dev”) and IT administration teams (“Ops”).  

While DevOps is popular for full-stack software development, it is also excellent for database development and can help reduce or eliminate many database performance issues before they ever deploy to production. Unfortunately, this practice isn’t widespread. But it should be! 

In this two-part webcast, you will learn how developers using Visual Studio “quality gates” can integrate with SolarWinds DPA and SQL Sentry to make that happen. Without this integration, undetected performance problems can lead to lost productivity and even lost data, as well as significant time spent by developers and database administrators (DBAs) chasing down performance problems.  

Packed with demos in Visual Studio and both DPA and SQL Sentry, you will see how to identify SQL Server performance problems in the development cycle, before the changes hit production.  

PREREQUISITES: Basic proficiency with core SQL statements, like CREATE, ALTER, DROP, GRANT, SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE

Managing Hybrid Cloud Environments through Observability (Episode 2)

“ITSM and IT Ops have very little to do with each other…” 

We’ve heard that before and on more than several occasions. While we see where people get that idea, especially in very siloed organizations, we think there’s a better way to think about this. 

In this new webcast series, we will discuss how we combine these two worlds to provide a better outcome for the entire business and, more importantly, your customer. We’ll also tackle how we think about the worlds of Observability and service management as a better-together story. 

Join us in the first part of this new series as we discuss:
• Setting the stage for IT Ops and ITSM
• Understanding where they overlap and diverge
• How they work better together
• What you can do next

Come prepared with your comments, questions, and myths you’ve heard as we get to work bringing clarity to it all.
