Announcing the Flyway Docker provisioner, now in Preview in Flyway Enterprise

Sep 16, 2026 By Buster.Major In Redgate

"Why do I need to give Flyway this extra database?" That's one of the most common blockers we hear from users setting up a Flyway project. Flyway has long had a concept of a build database or shadow database that is a dedicated sandbox database for Flyway to do background work in. It's required for Flyway to be able to simulate what running a set of migrations will do to a database.

The most expensive half-hour of an incident.

Sep 11, 2026 By Michelle Sebek In VictoriaMetrics

It’s not the outage, it’s the stretch before you know what actually broke In short: VictoriaMetrics Enterprise support is expertise, not a ticket queue. It’s reactive by design (you reach engineers who know the stack when something breaks), with one proactive service, Monitoring of Monitoring, that watches the health of your VictoriaMetrics observability stack (metrics, logs, and traces).

Introducing Flyway Insights: see the change, know the impact

Sep 10, 2026 By Stephanie Herr In Redgate

How much of your database delivery can you actually see? For most teams, the picture is scattered. Deployment status lives in CI logs and scripts. Drift appears outside the process. And with AI multiplying the volume and speed of changes moving through pipelines, the risk that comes with low visibility rises with every release.

Monitor Query Costs & Verify Database Changes Automatically

Sep 8, 2026 By Harness In Harness

See how Harness Database DevOps and DBmarlin work together to give you full visibility into query performance, automated deployment verification, and AI-assisted database change authoring - all inside your CI/CD pipeline. Most teams deploy database changes blind - they push a schema migration and hope nothing breaks. This demo shows a better way: DBmarlin surfaces the cost and performance of every query before and after a change, while Harness CV uses AI/ML to automatically detect regressions and block bad deployments from reaching production.

Two cats, two dogs, four vendors, and the model the AI couldn't find (Tech Talk Companion)

Sep 7, 2026 By Michelle Sebek In VictoriaMetrics

Tech Talks went dark for a few months, and on episode 13 I finally got to ask why. Mathias Palmersheim’s answer, delivered completely straight, was that his users were unhappy with the availability and usability of their feeders and their litter box, and he wasn’t allowed back on stream until that got fixed. The users are two dogs and two cats, and they have titles. Maisie, a Shiba Inu who came to him through a rescue, is the recently promoted chief executive pawofficer.

Relational Query Superpowers

Sep 7, 2026 By Ken Rimple In Honeycomb

I'm investigating repeated errors in my e-commerce application, and I need to get enough context in a single Honeycomb query to piece the entire picture together. Each query returns events based on the event's WHERE clauses, but I want to know several things from outside of the event that recorded an error. Things like: Those attributes are all over the trace. That's going to make a single query tough, right? Wrong!

Database Branching Explained: How It Works and When to Use It

Sep 5, 2026 By Rosemary Asufi In Devart

Database branching solves a strange mismatch in modern development: code gets its own branch, but the database often doesn’t. Developers can work independently in Git, then end up sharing the same development database, waiting for a fresh copy, or trying not to break each other’s schema changes. The result is a lot of database sprawl.
