- 7. 7 | The Importance of Application Release Automation (ARA) In a 2015 survey, ARA was the technology most frequently identified as having been "most important to their organization's adoption of DevOps.”
- 8. 8 | “I Want to Come to the ARA Party.”
- 10. 10 | Evolution ▪ Just like our applications have evolved over time to accommodate new technologies… ▪ So must our views of DevOps evolve to include other aspects of our business. ▪ Don’t think “lower-case” application, think “UPPER CASE” Application
- 11. 11 | Poll Question # 2 Do you use a Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) process?
- 12. 12 | The DevOps Toolchain “DevOps toolchains evolving without a plan encompassing the entire DevOps process result in disparate, overlapping tools that can be difficult to integrate and automate across the different DevOps areas.” "Avoid Failure by Developing a Toolchain That Enables DevOps", Gartner, 3/16/2016 Don’t “Balkanize”. Pick ONE tool that does the job well Make sure your ONE tool supports technical preferences. (e.g., ANT vs. Maven, .Net vs. Java) Future-proof by involving those that select future solutions Backwards compatibility will reap more immediate gains Absolutes are absolutely awful. “We will be 100% in the Cloud in 5 years.”
- 13. 13 | The DevOps Toolchain…Continued “ Not having a DevOps toolchain functional definition results in DevOps tool decisions made based on vendor tool features and functions, or on individual administrator/developer requirements.” It takes a village. You need all stakeholders involved Sketch out your application architecture. For every box, you need a representative from that team. You did put “database” on your architecture diagram, right? Automate everything in the pipeline, including DB "Avoid Failure by Developing a Toolchain That Enables DevOps", Gartner, 3/16/2016
- 14. 14 | Why? ▪ Siloed Functions ▪ “Don’t touch my stuff.” ▪ “It’s too hard.” ▪ “I’m scared.”
- 15. 15 | Why is Release Orchestration So Important? ▪ Enterprises that implement release orchestration often reduce the time to release software from months down to days, or even hours. ▪ They frequently release software 10-20X more quickly just a few months after implementing release orchestration. ▪ Software quality improves dramatically, with enterprises moving from multiple production incidents with every release down to only a few incidents a year

- After slide 8? On average, how frequently does your organization upgrade or release new application features in a year? At Least Once A Week At Lease Once A Month At Least Once A Quarter At Least Once Every Six Months At Least Once A Year
- ARA enables best practices in moving application-related artifacts, applications, configurations and data together across the application lifecycle Quote reference: The Forrester Wave™: Application Release Automation, Q3 2016
- In Forrester’s Q1 2016 Global Modern Service Delivery Benchmark Online Survey, only 4% of respondents tell us that the business is very satisfied with the time it takes to release new features or changes to customers (see Figure 1). Clearly, adoption of release automation is in its infancy, but it needs to grow up fast to support superior customer experiences by continually delivering quality interactions and applications.
- Gartner DevOps Survey Indicates ARA Is the Most Important Technology to DevOps Adoption. In a 2015 survey of Gartner Research Circle Members — a Gartner-managed panel composed of IT and business leaders — application release automation was the technology most frequently identified as having been "most important to your organization's adoption of DevOps." ARA was selected as "most important" by 60% of question respondents.

- After slide 18 Does your organization automate its database change management and deployment process? Yes No, But We Plan To Introduce This No And We Do Not Plan To Introduce This I Don’t Know
- Let’s be provocative and start our discussion with a question. Are you releasing applications at the speed of the digital economy? Now don’t feel pressured to answer. I’d like share what we are seeing. Every day we talk to businesses that are either planning, just beginning or already down the path of modernizing the way they release applications– to meet the needs of their market. There are a plenty of tools available that help them automate the way applications are built, tested and released at the click of a button. Business executives and application owners really like the innovation in this area and are supporting investments like these because they want to deliver better experiences to the market - faster.
- But like most good things it just not that simple. Based on our market research we have learned that 4 out of every 5 application releases require corresponding changes to the database and... the process of deploying those database changes is slowing the overall application release process. The process to deploy database changes looks nothing like the modern processes businesses are using to release applications. In fact the process to deploy database changes hasn’t really changed in over 20 years. What was acceptable when a company was doing 1 to 2 application releases a year is no longer going to cut it in a world where applications are being released monthly, weekly or certainly daily. Today’s process is manual and painstaking. It starts with a DBA reviewing every script and every change… and that takes time... which in turn creates a bottleneck. In addition one bad database change that happens to make it through this review process into production can degrade application performance, bring an application down or perhaps even worse, compromise the security of your data. On top of that it’s a resource intensive process that will not scale just by throwing more bodies at it.
- You can’t go slow and going fast is not easy. And the pressures of nonstop business innovation means more database changes need to be pushed out faster. That’s why we developed Datical DB. Datical DB helps companies release applications faster, protect their most valuable asset– data – better, and better utilize the precious human resources managing todays process – simply by bringing parity to the database change deployment process and treating database code just like application code. Here’s how it works.
- Datical DB simplifies and automates the antiquated, manual process of deploying database changes. This automation eliminates the typical back and forth - waiting game experienced by Developers and Testers as they wait for each change script and each change to be reviewed. The entire database change deployment process is made even more simple by Datical DBs ability to work with your existing application automation tool suite. Now database changes travel alongside application code changes at the push of a button through your lower tier environments all the way to production.
- The ability to increase productivity, efficiency and eliminate release errors translates into reduced RISK and COST and a BIG ROI. On average Datical customers spend 80% less time on tasks related to deploying database changes. In addition our customers have seen a 90% decrease in bad database changes that make their way into production. The value and benefit of Datical are far reaching across your organization: Database professionals avoid the time-consuming task of reviewing change scripts and can focus on more important projects. Developers can package, review, and validate database changes alongside application code changes with the push of a button. …and Application owners are able to deliver error-free experiences faster and more often - while maximizing their other application release investments.
