2. ABOUT ME Deployment pipeline for databases @EdPiairo, #TECHinPORTO @EdPiairo https://pt.linkedin.com/in/jesuspiairo eduardopiairo@gmail.com http://www.eduardopiairo.com/ Eduardo Piairo DevOps Coach @ Natixis DevOps Porto Founder
3. AGENDA • Deployment pipeline • Database challenges • Deployment pipeline stages • Deployment pipeline scenarios • Final thoughts Deployment pipeline for databases @EdPiairo, #TECHinPORTO
4. 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. by Martin Fowler @ https://martinfowler.com/bliki/DeploymentPipeline.html Deployment pipeline for databases @EdPiairo, #TECHinPORTO
5. DEPLOYMENT PIPELINE STAGES Deployment pipeline for databases Stage 1 – Change description (Source Control) Stage 2 – Change validation (Continuous Integration) Stage 3 – Change implementation (Continuous Delivery) Source Control Continuous Integration Continuous Delivery @EdPiairo, #TECHinPORTO
6. DATABASE & DEPLOYMENT PIPELINE Deployment pipeline for databases Source Control Continuous Integration Continuous Delivery Database + Application @EdPiairo, #TECHinPORTO
7. WHAT’S SO SPECIAL ABOUT DATABASES? Deployment pipeline for databases @EdPiairo, #TECHinPORTO
8. DATABASE CHALLENGES Deployment 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, #TECHinPORTO
9. DATABASE CHALLENGES Deployment 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, #TECHinPORTO
10. DATABASE CHALLENGES Deployment pipeline for databases Databases become a bottleneck in an agile delivery process @EdPiairo, #TECHinPORTO
11. AUTOMATION Deployment pipeline for databases @EdPiairo, #TECHinPORTO
12. THE VALUE OF AUTOMATION Deployment 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 process From (Re)Learn and forget it to Improve and forget it @EdPiairo, #TECHinPORTO
13. THE VALUE OF AUTOMATION Deployment pipeline for databases Fearless database changes @EdPiairo, #TECHinPORTO
14. SOURCE CONTROL Deployment 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 SQL Script @EdPiairo, #TECHinPORTO
15. • State based solutions • How the database should be • Migrations based solutions • How the database should change MIGRATIONS VS STATE Deployment pipeline for databases Migration Migration State Delta @EdPiairo, #TECHinPORTO
16. SCRIPTING GUIDELINES Deployment pipeline for databases • Small batches (One script, one operation type, one object) • Merge conflicts management • Patterns identification • File system scripts history search @EdPiairo, #TECHinPORTO
17. CONTINOUS INTEGRATION Deployment 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, #TECHinPORTO
18. CONTINUOUS DELIVERY Deployment pipeline for databases • Delivering change(s) in the target environment • Considerations • Downtime • Time to recover • Affected applications @EdPiairo, #TECHinPORTO
19. FAILED DEPLOYMENT Deployment 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, #TECHinPORTO
20. SCENARIO #1 FULLY INDEPENDENT PIPELINES Deployment pipeline for databases Source Control Continuous Integration Continuous Delivery APP DB • Independent deployment pipelines • High need of synchronization between DBA and development team @EdPiairo, #TECHinPORTO
21. SCENARIO #2 DELIVERING APPLICATION AND DATABASE TOGETHER Deployment pipeline for databases Source Control Continuous Integration Continuous Delivery APP DB • Different code repositories • Independent CI process • The contact point will be the deployment moment @EdPiairo, #TECHinPORTO
22. Deployment pipeline for databases Source Control Continuous Integration Continuous Delivery APP DB • Different code repositories • Connected/dependent CI process @EdPiairo, #TECHinPORTO SCENARIO #3 BUILDING AND DELIVERING APPLICATION AND DATABASE TOGETHER
23. SCENARIO #4 FULLY INTEGRATED PIPELINE Deployment pipeline for databases Source Control Continuous Integration Continuous Delivery APP DB • Share the some code repository, CI process and CD process • No need of synchronization • Promotes learning within teams (database code reviews) @EdPiairo, #TECHinPORTO
24. 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 how you work! Deployment pipeline for databases @EdPiairo, #TECHinPORTO
25. DEVOPS AND DATABASES Deployment pipeline for databases • DevOps way • Increase flow visibility • Increase feedback • Increase knowledge base @EdPiairo, #TECHinPORTO
26. READING MATERIAL Deployment pipeline for databases @EdPiairo, #TECHinPORTO
