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.

The emergence of serverless databases – revolutionizing DBaaS through on-demand scalability and cost efficiency

The surge in digital transformation and data-driven decision-making has escalated the need for effective and efficient database management systems. Traditionally, these systems have required significant investments in infrastructure and skilled personnel to ensure their efficient operation. This scenario is evolving rapidly, with DBaaS and, more recently, the development of serverless databases. These are fundamentally changing the way businesses manage and utilize data. By automatically scaling to match an application’s needs, serverless databases provide unprecedented flexibility and cost-efficiency, shifting the paradigms of traditional database management.

Understanding serverless databases

Serverless databases represent a significant advancement in the DBaaS model by abstracting the management of physical servers. Businesses can leverage serverless...
