About RedgateOver 600,000 technology professionals worldwide use Redgate tools,

including 91% of fortune 100 companies.

Our philosophy is to design highly usable, reliable tools that solve problems

commonly faced by DBAs and developers.

The challenge of integrating databases into ALM

• Business-critical data needs to be safely and correctly preserved

• Databases carry state that needs to be managed as part of rolling out

new or updating existing software

Poor Database Deployment Effects• Databases are out of pace with application development

• Little or no traceability of database changes

• Inability to roll back to the previous version of a database

• Databases become a bottleneck in agile delivery processes

• Releases are less frequent and more risky

• Manual database processes prevent you from utilizing CI and CD to

their full extent

• Deployments require a lot of Dev and DBA hours

Benefits of DLM & Continuous Delivery

• Repeatability of processes, giving:

• Greater predictability over releases

• Efficiency by eliminating the repetition of a range of manual activities

• Faster speed of response to change through:

• The automated deployment of smaller units of change

• Greater reliability of the release process by:

• Providing a series of automated test stages prior to deployment

The Bottom Line

The 2014 State of DevOps report found that:

• IT performance strongly correlates with practices such as version

control and continuous delivery.

• High-performing IT organizations are more agile and reliable,

deploying code 30 times more frequently with 50% fewer failures.

• Firms with high-performing IT organizations are twice as likely to

exceed their profitability, market share, and productivity goals.
