Deployment pipeline for databases
@EdPiairo, #WinOps
PIPELINE DEFINITION
In software engineering, a pipeline consists of a chain of processing elements (processes, threads, coroutines, functions, etc.), arranged so that the output of each element is the input of the next.

DEPLOYMENT PIPELINE DEFINITION
A deployment pipeline should enable collaboration between the various groups involved in delivering software and provide everyone visibility about the flow of changes in the system, together with a thorough audit trail.

WHAT’S SO SPECIAL ABOUT DATABASES?Deployment pipeline for databases
@EdPiairo, #WinOps
DATABASE CHALLENGESDeployment pipeline for databases
• Database and application changes (most of the time) are handled differently
• Different deployment pipeline
• Synchronization needed
• Database is not included (manual work)
@EdPiairo, #WinOps
DATABASE CHALLENGESDeployment pipeline for databases
• Manual work …
• Lack of traceability of database changes (changes history)
• It’s the most expensive and risky work type
• Prevent CI and CD utilization in their full extent
• Promote the fear of changes
@EdPiairo, #WinOps
DATABASE CHALLENGESDeployment pipeline for databases
Databases become a bottleneck in an agile delivery process
@EdPiairo, #WinOps
AUTOMATIONDeployment pipeline for databases
@EdPiairo, #WinOps
THE VALUE OF AUTOMATIONDeployment pipeline for databases
• Enable control over database development
• Increase speed of response to change
• Greater reliability of the release process
• Remove/reduce human intervention in the release processFrom

to
Improve and forget it
@EdPiairo, #WinOps
THE VALUE OF AUTOMATIONDeployment pipeline for databases
Fearless database changes
@EdPiairo, #WinOps
SOURCE CONTROLDeployment pipeline for databases
@EdPiairo, #WinOps
SQL Script
Fundamental resource
SOURCE CONTROLDeployment pipeline for databases
• First step in your database deployment pipeline
• Traceability through change history
• SQL as documentation
• Shared code-base and shared process
• Enforceable standards to reduce conflicts
@EdPiairo, #WinOps
• State based solutions
• How the database should be
• Migrations based solutions
• How the database should change

SCRIPTING GUIDELINESDeployment pipeline for databases
• One script, one operation type, one object (small batches)
• Merge conflicts management
• Patterns identification
• File system scripts history search
@EdPiairo, #WinOps
CONTINOUS INTEGRATIONDeployment pipeline for databases
• Integrate and validate changes
• Tests: Unit, Integration
• Small batches, less risk
• Considerations:
• What should be tested? And When?
• Can the application help on this?
@EdPiairo, #WinOps
CONTINUOUS DELIVERYDeployment pipeline for databases
• Delivering change(s) in the target environment
• Considerations
• Downtime
• Time to recover
• Small batches – low risk
• Affected applications
@EdPiairo, #WinOps
FAILED DEPLOYMENTDeployment pipeline for databases
• Rollback/roll forward scripts
• Very fast
• Please, do not make mistakes
• It’s like working backwards
• Backups (before deploy)
• Safer but slower
• Keep databases small
• Avoid share databases between applications
@EdPiairo, #WinOps
SCENARIO #1Deployment pipeline for databases
Source Control Continuous Integration Continuous Delivery
APP
DB
@EdPiairo, #WinOps
• Independent deployment pipelines
• High need of synchronization between DBA and development team
SCENARIO #2Deployment pipeline for databases
Source Control Continuous Integration Continuous Delivery
APP
DB
@EdPiairo, #WinOps
• Different code repositories
• Independent CI process
• The contact point will be the deployment moment
SCENARIO #3Deployment pipeline for databases
Source Control Continuous Integration Continuous Delivery
APP
DB
@EdPiairo, #WinOps
• Different code repositories
• Connected/dependent CI process
SCENARIO #4Deployment pipeline for databases
Source Control Continuous Integration Continuous Delivery
APPDB
@EdPiairo, #WinOps
• Share the some code repository, CI process and CD process
• No need of synchronization
• Promotes learning within teams (database code reviews)
DEMODeployment pipeline for databases
@EdPiairo, #WinOps
MY DEPLOYMENT PIPELINE DEFINITION
Pipeline: Cultural and technical tool for managing changes in the software development process (should contemplate databases, applications and infrastructure).
by me ;)
Show me your pipeline and I will tell you the way you work!
