Please RSVP to this event only if you are attending virtually.

Please note that the live stream will start at 6 PM, while the in-person event will start at 5-30.

Event Details

Ryan Booz, Advocate from Redgate, will present his talk:

Intro to database migrations with Flyway

Talk Abstract:

Flyway is a popular open-source tool for managing schema migrations throughout your database and application lifecycle. While getting started with Flyway can be challenging—especially with an existing database and when managed migrations are a new concept—this talk will help you succeed.

In this meeting, I’ll introduce the free Flyway Desktop client, Database DevOps concepts, including using CI/CD pipelines for database deployments, and integrating Flyway into your development workflow. You'll learn about branching strategies, handling out-of-order migrations, using the community portal to track pipeline and database drift, and more.

About the Speaker:

Ryan is an Advocate at Redgate focusing on PostgreSQL. Ryan has been working as a PostgreSQL advocate, developer, DBA and product manager for more than 20 years, primarily working with time-series data on PostgreSQL and the Microsoft Data Platform.
Ryan is a long-time DBA, starting with MySQL and Postgres in the late 90s. He spent more than 15 years working with SQL Server before returning to PostgreSQL full-time in 2018. He’s at the top of his game when he's learning something new about the data platform or teaching others about the technology he loves.

Agenda:

6:00 - 6:15 - Hettie D: PG Day Chicago updates, Students Training Day, and more
6:15 - 7:15 - Ryan Booz: Intro to database migrations with Flyway
7:15 - 8:10 - QA and networking

As usual, I hope to see as many of you as possible in person, but if not, please join us virtually!
