DevOps for Databases

By: David Jambor

Overview of this book

In today's rapidly evolving world of DevOps, traditional silos are a thing of the past. Database administrators are no longer the only experts; site reliability engineers (SREs) and DevOps engineers are database experts as well. This blurring of the lines has led to increased responsibilities, making members of high-performing DevOps teams responsible for end-to-end ownership. This book helps you master DevOps for databases, making it a must-have resource for achieving success in the ever-changing world of DevOps. You’ll begin by exploring real-world examples of DevOps implementation and its significance in modern data-persistent technologies, before progressing into the various types of database technologies and recognizing their strengths, weaknesses, and commonalities. As you advance, the chapters will teach you about design, implementation, testing, and operations using practical examples, as well as common design patterns, combining them with tooling, technology, and strategies for different types of data-persistent technologies. You’ll also learn how to create complex end-to-end implementation, deployment, and cloud infrastructure strategies defined as code. By the end of this book, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge and tools to design, build, and operate complex systems efficiently.

Implementing data-persistence technologies

In our digital age, the ability to store, access, and manage vast amounts of data swiftly and securely forms the backbone of many essential applications. Central to this is the database system, acting as a repository that not only holds the data but also ensures its seamless integration into the applications that rely on it. Whether you’re implementing a traditional RDBMS or venturing into the realms of NoSQL, a successful setup goes beyond mere installation. It demands a holistic approach, encompassing judicious configuration, vigilant management, and foresight into potential pitfalls and recovery mechanisms. Dive into this section to gain insights into the foundational steps of installing, configuring, and effectively managing your database systems.
