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.

Security and compliance

In our digital age, data is the new gold. As businesses rely heavily on digital interactions, vast amounts of data are amassed daily, making databases the treasuries of this age. However, with this invaluable resource comes the ever-present shadow of security threats. The digital realm is fraught with dangers, from hackers trying to breach systems for valuable data to inadvertent mistakes that could expose sensitive information. As we dive deeper into the realm of database management, the critical role of security becomes glaringly evident. Through this section, we’ll explore the significance of security measures, common threats, mitigation strategies, and practical examples to fortify these data repositories.
