#### Description

Do you want to migrate to Azure SQL DB and finally get a good night's sleep, without having to worry about your servers misbehaving like a group of rowdy toddlers?

If so, we're tackling a topic near and dear to your hearts. That's where Azure SQL Database comes in - the cloud-based solution that lets us focus on what really matters (you know, living our lives). With its automatic backups, automated patching, and elastic scalability, we can finally say goodbye to the never-ending cycle of server management.

But let's not get too ahead of ourselves - we still need to make the migration and learn how to manage the database. From the initial planning stages to the final cutover, there are plenty of opportunities for things to go wrong. But with a little bit of humor and a lot of caffeine, we can conquer anything that comes our way.

Tracy Boggiano, a three-time Data Platform MVP, wears many more hats than just her tech-savvy tiara. Sound Physicians can count her as their dedicated Database Architect, while the SQL Server world has been relishing her expertise since the days of version 6.5. As the co-pilot of both the Triangle SQL Server User Group in Raleigh, NC, and the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Data Community Virtual Group, she is at the helm of data advocacy and inclusivity. She was deemed worthy of the PASSion 2020 award for her exceptional volunteering flair, and RedGate heralded her as one of 2022's top 100 influencers in data, lauding her as a Community Hero.




When she's not knee-deep in data, she's elbow-deep in making the world a better place. Her heart beats loudest for advocating for abused and neglected foster children through the North Carolina Guardian ad Litem program, a role she treasures above all else. Since 2003, she's been the voice for over 65 children, a feat that won her the Overall Outstanding Volunteer Award from the United Way in 2021. Her personal journey with mental health has led her to the PAIMI Advisory Council with the DRNC, championing the cause of individuals with mental illnesses.

The list goes on. She sits on the board of the Foster Family Alliance of NC, a charity committed to weaving a supportive network for children, youth, and foster families, and Youth Lead NC, an organization devoted to helping youth with disabilities bloom into independent, contributing members of society. Plus, she finds time to volunteer at her church. When asked how she does it all, she simply replies with a wink and a whisper of "fairy dust."
