This challenging delivery is the symptom, yet its impact goes beyond temporary dissatisfaction from sudden service hiccups. In today’s world, prompt response to your customers, your channel, and your data consumers are what distinguishes between market leaders and other players. There are many to blame; shortage in skilled people, the growing workload, working in silos due to Covid pandemic, the great resignation, and other valid reasons are a fact. Both heaven and competition can’t wait.
Companies must increase and harness automation which addresses these challenges. The time is right for reviewing the corporate delivery chain, identifying the weak points, bottlenecks, and suggesting automated hands-free processes that are cheaper, faster and safer. One example is how companies are improving their data delivery mechanism. Legacy systems with costly development and maintenance from years past, and which require tedious amounts of work and resources continue with high end costs. These areas are prime targets for hands-free processes and automation.
The pumping heart of most organizations resides in an unexpected place; the in-house software factory. These great development teams are responsible to streamline all data deliverables both inside and outside of the company’s firewall. In many firms these processes are still manual and human powered. The expected result creates a bottleneck.
Skimpflation has become a daily choice created by avoiding modernization and automation in the data delivery infrastructure. DBmaestro, leading provider of database release automation empowers developer teams’ productivity, freeing them from the manual code reviews and optimizing their use of time. DBmaestro empowers development teams to do more with less. Our platform boosts your team’s performance and smoothly and safely enables you to cross over the database delivery chasm.
]]>The ability to augment and empower every business decision-making process with an insightful data-driven approach leads organizations on the right path. The business is rapidly changing; the notion of waiting weeks/months for the pending changes in data architecture to enable releasing new software versions has given way to agile, more specialized, and focused data change management delivered in near real-time. This ever-growing demand for changes and modification on data structure and database schemas creates an enormous load on the development team and daily challenges to the internal data production floor.
Data architect, the new rising data star, is the visioner who sees beyond the business requirements and constantly seeks ways to improve the data change in IT infrastructure to exceed the growth of data demand. A data architect is also a hands-on practitioner who knows what it takes to build and fine-tune the data architecture, enabling smooth data flow across all consumers. The role of the data architect becomes essential as the architecture needs to address several complexed aspects of the solution. He is a doer who applies innovative architectural changes, best practices, and can be a supervisor who ensures streamlined communication of the shift to the data stakeholders.
DBmaestro empowers data architects to govern the entire change data chain process. Our solution includes team collaboration, verifying the best quality of data changes, full compliance with regulation, and intelligent enforcement of security and safety policies. Anyone considering building a new house would hire an architect to help design, plan and execute the project right. The same logic applies to data assets; you need a data architect to build a blueprint for the database.
Deploying code to production hundreds of times a day/week is common practice for many organizations. Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) automation is the best way to accomplish robust, safe, and secure DB version releases. Git plays a meaningful role in tracking these changes and coordinating work among programmers collaboratively developing the code during software development. GitOps is the best practice to orchestrate, manage and govern these complex development workflows, ensuring successful completion of every activity in these task-savvy and tedious processes. GitOps simplifies and streamlines the development process and enables building a visible and reproducible infrastructure that reduces load-cost and increases team productivity.
DBmaestro is the best practice for deploying GitOps for the database. Our DevSecOps platform seamlessly integrates into the Git workflow, pushing and pulling database change-code into and out of the repository. The platform enforces corporate data security policy and automatically generates database code changes that set a new high-quality corporate coding standard. DBmaestro is the Git Go-To-Deployment platform for the database. DBmaestro empowers developers to achieve hyper-productivity with automated tracking of all database changes and automatic change-code generation.
DBmaestro, the leading solution provider for the DevOps platform, launched its first GitOps solution back in 2017. The accumulated experience gained by serving thousands of developers worldwide validates a fine-tuned GitOps solution that fits any size development team. DBmaestro uses simplicity to empower database release automation and makes GitOps on-demand for the development team. Smooth and prompt adoption of these proven best practices shortens the gap for successful GitOps deployment by every Waterfall and DevOps developer. GitOps powered by DBmaestro is essential to achieving fine-tuned, orchestrated, secured and fully governed database release automation.
A database administrator (DBA) is the information technician responsible for directing or performing all activities to maintain a successful database environment. This certainly locks and narrows the view to a geek sitting in a dark room reviewing a zillion lines of database-related code (SQL, Python, etc.). It’s so untrue! The DBA makes sure an organization’s database and related applications operate functionally, efficiently,and securely, directly impacting the day-to-day business rollout.
Deploying new features to customers and the ecosystem quickly, safely, and reliably makes differentiation apparent. The most efficient company can deliver value to its data-consuming endpoints which re-defines the winners. And yet… over 50% of DBA time is still consumed day and night on code reviews. Data officers should seek ways to free DBAs from these heavy loaded tasks and optimize their use of time, for higher value and outstanding projects.
How many hours a day, can someone consecutively review code without missing anything? Making mistakes is human, and production-related mistakes are costly to an organizational perspective. What about the quality of the code? Are the DBA’s skills being equally distributed throughout the DBA team? Of course not.
The endgame. The developer submits a change code request, and now he waits for the DBA to review and provide feedback, which is a classic scenario for creating a bottleneck. The picture is more precise; database release automation accelerates DBA’s productivity, freeing them from the manual code reviews and optimizing their time. The benefits for the organization are enormous: putting release time on steroids, fastest value to the eco-system, superior competitiveness, and direct improvement on the business bottom-line.
