May 2020 Nottingham Data Platform User Group | DevOps special


Details
For our second event of 2020 we're pleased to welcome Alex Yates for a double header.
Just in case you've not met him, Alex describes himself as:
Alex Yates has been helping organisations to apply DevOps principles to relational database development and deployment since 2010. He’s most proud of helping Skyscanner develop the ability to deploy 95 times a day. Originally for Redgate, later for DLM Consultants, Alex has worked with clients on every continent except Antarctica – so he’s keen to meet anyone who researches penguins.
A keen community member, he co-organises Data Relay, is the founder of www.SpeakingMentors.com and has been recognised as a Microsoft Data Platform MVP since 2017.

He'll be presenting 2 sessions on Database Devops;
First up will be:
Simple database deployments with GitHub, Azure DevOps Services and SSDT
100% demos: We will create a new public repository in GitHub, script out a database using SSDT, and set up an automated Azure DevOps Services Release Pipeline to deploy our source code to Azure.

The second session will be:
Solving the dev database problem with GitHub, Docker and PsDatabaseClone
In this session attendees will learn to use GitHub, Docker, SSDT and
PsDatabaseClone to unshackle themselves from “Wild West” dev databases and empower them to use modern branching techniques and Azure DevOps to continuously deliver their updates to production.
