Even with dedicated database staff (often with impressive technical skills), businesses need help understanding how to address database issues. IT managers and database specialists are keen to try different approaches to keeping databases working as efficiently as possible. One popular approach is ‘DevOps’.

In cooking, ingredients must be properly prepared by a trainee chef so that the master chef can craft the perfect dish. In carpentry, lumber is precisely cut and sanded by an apprentice so that an expert carpenter can build sound structures. A similar principle applies in artificial intelligence (AI), where IT professionals must ensure the correctness and consistency of data for AI systems to produce accurate insights. However, the SolarWinds IT Trends Report 2024 — AI: Friend or Foe?

Logging in a Python application is straightforward. When you have good logs, you have better visibility into application health. You can monitor performance and track user activity. You’re better equipped to debug errors. Life is good. The challenges come when your application grows more complex. Perhaps your Python code is part of a broader application, or you have services distributed across multiple machines or clouds.

Data drives decisions: no one argues this. But developers and DevOps professionals primarily care that their data is being stored… somewhere. At that point, many of them walk away without a care about what happens afterward. They leave that to the DBAs, cloud admins, and anyone else except themselves. But that idea doesn’t scale. Even though the data is a part of your continuous delivery/continuous integration (CI/CD) operations, the care and feeding of those datasets falls to others. Maybe it’s time to look at that data and make some recommendations.
