Redgate Monitor now closes that gap. You can monitor reader nodes for the first time, alongside the writer node support we already had, and get a cluster-wide view that ties node-level health back to overall cluster performance.

Every organization knows what their database monitoring tool costs on the invoice. Almost none of them have added up what it costs in the people running it, the incidents it doesn't catch fast enough, and the savings sitting in the environment that nobody has visibility to find.

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) has applied to financial organizations across the EU since January 2025 and is designed to strengthen their ability to withstand operational disruption. What the roundtables revealed was that although these financial organizations had completed extensive DORA planning exercises, this groundwork was not reliably translating into auditable operational control.

AI coding assistants have changed how fast application code gets written. Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, and agentic tools built on top of them can generate a working feature in minutes. But none of them know your database's history. They don't know that a migration already renamed that column last sprint, that a policy forbids unqualified DELETE statements, or that the target environment has drifted from what your migrations say it should look like.

This month, we wanted to spotlight some of the new cloud features that shipped last month and are enabling teams to keep pace with database estates that increasingly span multiple platforms and providers. We also have updates for Monitor Enterprise users that improve alerting for permission changes. Here's what's new in Monitor.

This month is a big one! We announced the latest major release of Redgate Flyway Enterprise, built to help teams move fast with AI without losing control of the database. Three key new capabilities also landed in preview: Flyway’s MCP server, advanced support for Databricks, and Oracle schema existence checks. And we're closing with a short, honest read on failure and what it takes to make deployments less stressful. Here's the round-up.

99% of database professionals are seeing AI benefits. So why are the security challenges increasing?

The numbers from the 2026 State of the Database Landscape: AI Edition are striking. 99% percent of respondents using AI report at least one measurable benefit for their database work. Automation is up, performance is improving, and three-quarters report significant cost savings. By almost any measure, AI is delivering. However, sitting alongside that near-universal positivity in the same dataset, security and privacy concerns have climbed to 64%. Regulatory compliance anxiety has risen to 40%.

“Deployment stress doesn’t just come from high-profile public outages. It often starts much earlier, when a fear of failure seeps into team culture.” Rob Richardson, Software Craftsman Rob certainly knows the stress and embarrassment of public deployment failures. "But overall" he reflects, "I’ve had more stress in my career from internal failures.

This session walks SQL Server developers through a complete database development workflow, from designing schema changes to testing and deploying them safely, using SQL Toolbelt Essentials. Most database teams don't struggle with SQL itself. The friction comes from process: schema changes made without a clear picture of what's already there, inconsistent code quality across a team, databases left outside version control, and deployments that feel riskier than they should. This session covers all four, with a live demo in SSMS for each one.

AI can write database schema changes in seconds, but nothing should reach production until it's validated, tested, and approved. In this discussion, Ken Muse (GitHub), Steve Jones (Redgate), and Huxley Kendall (Redgate) show how a governed pipeline keeps AI-generated database changes safe without slowing teams down.
AI speeds up delivery. Here's how IT leaders manage the risk when AI-generated code hits production.

AI can accelerate speed to market, but for IT leaders it also raises a harder question: can you prove how an AI-generated change reached production? Chris Yates (SVP, Managing Director of Data & Architecture, Republic Bank) explains how his team builds a full evidence trail for every change, using version-controlled deployment tooling like Redgate Flyway Enterprise, so governance becomes a guardrail rather than a brake on speed.

Huxley Kendell demonstrates how Redgate Flyway Enterprise enables safe, governed, and deterministic integration of AI and agentic workflows into database development processes. Local Workflows Huxley showcases how developers can use an MCP server to interact with Flyway Enterprise through local AI tools like Claude. Agentic Workflows The demo presents a future-ready, fully agentic workflow designed for enterprise automation through an autonomous copilot.

We catch up with Franck Pachot, a longtime database community figure who has moved through Oracle, CERN, Yugabyte, MongoDB and, most recently, the PostgreSQL team at Microsoft. Hear stories from Franck's varied career, learn what makes technical content genuinely useful to developers, how PostgreSQL's MVCC and extension model differs from Oracle's, and what's really going on with Microsoft's growing family of PostgreSQL offerings (Flexible Server, Horizon DB, and DocumentDB).

Even small Oracle ASM issues can become big database problems. Here's how to spot the warning signs early. Tony and Tonie discuss how Redgate Monitor custom metrics help teams close a common monitoring gap: surfacing Oracle ASM health and performance issues before storage pressure, rebalancing problems, or disk group failures become database incidents.

Faster SQL coding only releases engineering capacity if it doesn’t create more late-stage rework and deployment risk. Tony and Tonie discuss how SQL Toolbelt Essentials helps teams keep speed and control aligned. Learn how SQL Toolbelt Essentials helps SQL Server teams write better code faster, catch issues while the code is still being developed, and apply shared standards before changes reach review, test, or deployment.
