Jan 10, 2023 By Stephanie Herr In Redgate

Database DevOps has come of age. Now seen as a key technical practice which can contribute to the successful implementation of DevOps, it stops the database being a bottleneck and makes releases faster and easier. Conversely, perhaps, the automation and audit trails it introduces can help to protect personal data within databases and make compliance part of the same process rather than an additional time-consuming step outside it.

Data is a business's most valuable asset. When given the ability to harness its power, organisations can transform their data into meaningful business intelligence (BI)-and act on this to stay ahead in an ever-more competitive landscape. This is where the enterprise data warehouse (EDW) comes in.
