What is source control? What is version history? What are unit tests? What do CI and CD even mean, and what the heck is an Artifact??

In this new era of Agile development, DevOps, DataOps and other weird buzzwords, we the DBAs gotta learn to keep up.

It's time to add our monstrous database into the continuous integration pipeline.
But first, we need to know what we're going into and need to familiarize ourselves with the terms and methodologies of the world of software development lifecycles.

Get familiar with these concepts and stay ahead in the world of Agile, DevOps, DataOps, and beyond.

**join us and take the first step towards mastering the software development lifecycle!**

Session Information:
Title: ***Build an Enterprise-ready Data API for Azure SQL, then take the rest of the day off.***

Data owners are exposing more and more data through Data API endpoints. The business result is interoperability, but the engineering result is a catalog of requirements like performance, scalability, observability, caching, and security that bloat a codebase with resolvers, controllers, repository code, unit tests, and a slower CI/CD pipeline.

What if there was a better way?

**Microsoft Data API builder** is an open-source, Data API engine that runs in a stateless container.

It delivers **GraphQL and REST endpoints over Azure SQL, PostgreSQL, Cosmos DB, and MySQL** with all the industry-standard security and endpoint features, but none of the extra code.

It integrates with any architecture and doesn't require your team to adopt any specific language or framework.

**Become the 10x developer and turn your attention away from CRUD operations, and toward the code that brings real business value instead.**

**Make Data API endpoints a no-compromise commodity with Data API builder over Azure SQL.**

Generative AI is revolutionizing the way technical professionals work, offering powerful new tools to streamline workflows and enhance productivity and DBAs are no exception.

In this session, we will explore the fundamental concepts crucial for effectively utilizing large language models (LLMs) in a DBA context. We'll discuss key parameters such as model temperature and how it affects output variability, the importance of context windows in maintaining coherent interactions, and techniques for crafting effective prompts to elicit desired responses.

We will then go into demos that apply those concepts to practical use cases for leveraging generative AI in database management tasks like script writing, query optimization, data modeling, and troubleshooting issues.
