No matter what you think of the DevOps movement, two things are certain: The full definition of "DevOps" can be remarkably hard to pin down, but the basic premise of development and operations collaborating closely leads to higher quality applications.
DevOps is historically a very inclusive movement, and also one that advocates a high degree of automation. Databases exist in both the Dev AND Ops worlds, and yet are coming to the world of rigorous automation relatively late. Are they a bridge between teams, a point of contention, or just caught in the middle of how different teams like to work? And just how should they, and the people who work on them, be included in modern software practices?
Join us as we invite DevOps expert and evangelist James Betteley onto the show to talk about how he's seeing teams and companies evolve, advances in automation, and explore how working with databases is changing.
