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.

Deployment and release

In this section, we will delve into the deployment and release phase of the project, focusing on how the cross-functional teams at Acme Software Solutions leverage IaC, CD pipelines, and deployment strategies to ensure efficient and reliable releases of their products. The implementation of the end-to-end ownership model empowers the teams to take full ownership and control over the deployment process.

IaC

IaC is a fundamental concept in the deployment phase under the end-to-end ownership model. At Acme Software Solutions, the teams leverage tools such as Terraform and AWS CloudFormation to define their infrastructure in a declarative manner. They codify their infrastructure configuration, including servers, networks, databases, and other resources, using scripts or configuration files.

By treating infrastructure as code, the teams can version, manage, and deploy their infrastructure consistently and reproducibly. Infrastructure changes are tracked using...
