While DevOps has increasingly been adopted across many organizations, it is now becoming central to how they operate — and is maturing to include the database in DevOps flows. That is the headline finding from Redgate's third State of Database DevOps Report. Looking through the results, there are four clear conclusions for everyone involved in DevOps ...
DevOps continues to gain significant momentum as teams look to master Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD). This is transforming how and what is being developed and released. As a result, software development teams and organizations continue to undergo rapid change. Not only that, but teams are also getting increasingly more diverse, in location, generation, gender and culture. So how do the technical and people managers in DevOps adjust? ...
With so many people relying so heavily on apps, it is critical for developers to assure continuous quality throughout the entire software development life cycle. And it all starts with testing ...
Containers have reshaped the technology landscape in the past year. Picking up where virtualization left off, they have brought new levels of portability to cloud deployments and ushered in the move to microservices, making it easier to break applications into smaller parts that can be updated more frequently and with less disruption. But what does container deployment really look like in the enterprise and what does it mean for 2019? ...
In the coming weeks, EMA will be gathering data on what we believe is a unique research topic — approaching DevOps initiatives from the perspectives of all key constituents. We're doing this to try to break through some of the "false walls" created by more niche, market-defined insights, or some of our industry hyperbole. Here are some of the directions we're pursuing ...
One of the latest trends is the movement towards continuous development and the need for feature flags to enable that. We knew that feature flags enable developers to move fast while breaking nothing. But we also wanted to know ...
It is refreshing to see that analysts, bloggers and many of the vendors are finally catching up to what the Digital Transformation Strategists have known for nearly a decade — Cloud is not always cheaper. In my books, I touch upon the 5 Phases and identifying the total costs that will impact an application workload. When you are looking to migrate to Cloud it is important to view it from a business — not just a technologist — perspective. When you evaluate the various tools, ask yourself if they do the same ...

The advent of the value stream has helped enable organizations to look at how they optimize their portfolios, and to focus on the strategic objectives that senior management want to have visibility of. Once an organization has identified these value streams, it becomes imperative to capture, visualize, analyze and optimize critical indicators of speed and quality of your software delivery through value stream management ...
In 2019, competitive disruption will drive remaining laggards to a DevOps boiling point. As the industry moves to the plateau of productivity with DevOps automation and standard tooling, laggard executives will reach a management crisis point that will force actions ...
To better align business and IT objectives, enterprise organizations should focus on the core "problems" that individual business units face today in driving out real consumer value. Until the roadblocks and inhibitors — and, ultimately, the resultant technical debt — are removed from the equation, large enterprise organizations will continue struggling to succeed ...
Technical debt is what results when legacy platforms or highly integrated and dependent systems and processes inhibit large enterprise organizations from meeting the needs of internal business stakeholders. In many cases, the core objectives that drive real, monetizable business value are not aligned to the esoteric IT goals of "automation" and "Agile development." This creates a fundamental disconnect between business and IT ...
Budget season is an important time of the year for businesses because it gives senior IT and security leaders time to reflect on what went right this year and what initiatives need to be given priority in the new year. Recent research from Threat Stack shows security budgets are expected to increase by 19 percent over the next two years, but business leaders are still facing challenges determining where to allocate this budget in the face of rapidly evolving infrastructure ...
As organizations of all sizes are embracing hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructures, they are experiencing the many benefits of a more agile, distributed and high-speed environment where new applications and services can be built and delivered in days and weeks, rather than months and years. But as the adoption of these next generation architectures continues to grow, so do the complexities of securing the cloud workloads running on them ...
