Enhancing DevOps with SQL Sentry: A Guide to Shift Left Strategies

Data drives decisions: no one argues this. But developers and DevOps professionals primarily care that their data is being stored… somewhere. At that point, many of them walk away without a care about what happens afterward. They leave that to the DBAs, cloud admins, and anyone else except themselves. But that idea doesn’t scale. Even though the data is a part of your continuous delivery/continuous integration (CI/CD) operations, the care and feeding of those datasets falls to others. Maybe it’s time to look at that data and make some recommendations.
