👉 CI/CD, Databases, and Zombies
Broadly speaking, most people are aware of the concept of CI/CD these days, and the methods and techniques associated with deploying software. However, what is usually less well managed is the database that the software in question depends upon.

What methods and techniques can you employ in deploying changes to your data and schema? What happens when your code is dependent on that schema? What can you do when they fail or go wrong? How can you manage extraordinary data changes?

In this talk we’ll explore some possible solutions, and also talk about where each one might fall-down. This talk is predominantly based around relational database structures; however, some of the content may be applicable to NoSqldatabases.
