Bringing Continuous Delivery to the Database

Bringing Continuous Delivery to the Database

Last month at Jenkins World, the annual gathering of DevOps devotees and Jenkins users, I sat down with executives at Datical, a group that focuses on database deployment automation. Ben Geller, vice president of marketing, and Pete Pickerell, co-founder of Datical and its vice president of product strategy, discussed the streamlining of their continuous integration/continuous delivery process with Jenkins 2.6. DevOps is coming to the database.

As changes to applications happen faster and faster, it’s logical that database releases would contribute to delays. And as database administrators scramble to keep up the pace, error rates inevitably continue to increase. In a survey of IT managers conducted by IDG Research and commissioned by Datical, almost a third (30 percent) of IT executives reported seeing an increase over the last year in error rates in production caused by bad database changes.
