Accelerating Software Delivery: Unifying Application and Database Changes in Modern CI/CD
|While many teams have mastered automated application deployments, database changes remain challenging due to their impact on persistent, business-critical data. Yet keeping database changes in a separate world of manual processes and specialized tools creates friction, delays releases, and increases risk. In this session, we'll explore how to bring database changes into your deployment pipelines - creating a unified workflow that handles both application and database changes seamlessly while respecting the unique constraints of database operations.
Join us to explore:
- Building common deployment pipelines that handle both application and database changes
- Patterns for safely managing schema updates alongside application deployments
- Strategies for maintaining data integrity in automated pipelines
- Practical examples using Harness to implement unified deployments
Whether you're looking to streamline existing processes or just starting to automate database changes, you'll leave with concrete approaches to integrate database deployments into your CI/CD workflows.
3 Key Takeaways:
- Database changes are special, but not THAT special
- Techniques for orchestrating ordered, incremental changes through environments
- Patterns for building deployment pipelines that
