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.

Part 3 – evolving trends in SRE

As we further entrench ourselves in a digital-first world, the stability and performance of our systems have become paramount to organizational success. Standing at the crossroads of this digital frontier is site reliability engineering (SRE), intertwining its software engineering prowess with operational challenges. With its foundations being fortified by current technological tenets such as DevOps, microservices, and Kubernetes, SRE is now on the precipice of transformation. This section traverses the ongoing evolutions and imminent revolutions within the SRE landscape, setting the stage for a future punctuated by AI-centric operations, proactive system testing, and a richer understanding of our digital infrastructures. Let’s embark on this insightful journey into the shifting sands of SRE.
