A session for DBAs considering where their career needs to go.
Test Driven Development in SQL Server, safer code deploys
Testing data in SQL Server is hard, but it is easier than having to restore your database. This session will show how easy it is to test database code using industry frameworks, tools and processes
Culture is vital for DevOps Success.
Why do most DevOps projects fail? Typically it is not because of tool choice or cloud vs on-prem deployments
It is because people don't understand what culture is or how to work towards a common business goal.
