It’s the most wonderful time of the year, that’s right it’s International Short Story Day. Our narrative covers Agile stories, Developer stories, short girl appreciation, and of course a novel Unwin original…or 3. In ‘The News’ we read all about Log4j, Y2K and Minecraft, before our hosts drop a big bang bombshell, turning a page in the book of life. It’s true poetry in motion as Chris and Chris raise their Moet (reading) glasses in testament to a whopping 39.5 episodes of DBAle Season One. So, grab yourself a beer and join our legendary Chris duo for the last chapter – the end.

A brief introduction to Flyway Hub, helping you make safe and easy production database changes with Flyway.

It’s officially National Absurdity Day, although, this could pass as just another DBAle. In the (soya) meat of the episode, our hosts pass the time discussing the frankly absurd database development practices that are somehow still passable in 2021. While the news celebrates the PASS Data Community Summit, and the importance of passwords in data security with Troy Hunt. So, pass yourself a beer, a champers, or a Passoa, and tune in – cheers.

A brief introduction to Flyway Hub.

Your usual Chris duo becomes a trio, as they welcome Friend of Redgate and autism spectrum self-advocate, Chris Voss. Only our 2nd ever guest Chris on the show, he joins us to demystify the myths of neurodiversity, its meaning, influence, and prevalence within the IT sector. Things get a little hazy as our Chris trinity start on the beer, but they keep IT relevant talking cloud, widgets, and acronyms. So, grab yourself a beer and join the Chris trifecta – cheers.

Our guest host, and the fountain of knowledge that is, Grant Fritchey, gets into the spirit early enjoying a Beer Can with Chris. Going head-to-head in the ultimate DBAle showdown, Grant pits Chris v Chris as they battle it out to correctly guess insights from the brand new 2021 State of Database DevOps Report.

Is it a beer, is it a muffin or is it a Panda Pop? Who knows but at 9% strength, producer Louise joins our Chris duo as plan B, to monitor proceedings. Very fitting as our discussion focuses on monitoring for the modern data age. We talk busyness, hybrid estates, tooling, Multi-RDBMS, and a surprising amount about car mechanics. In The News we debate scrape or breach, and the potential maximum fines for the latest Facebook scandal. So, grab yourself a beer and tune in – cheers.

Scott Sauber, Director of Engineering at Lean TECHniques Inc., covers the challenges and benefits of source controlling database changes, including a demo of Flyway.
