IaC Isn't Enough for Database Delivery (May 6th)
Thursday, May 7th, 2026: 1:00 PM 2:00 PM
In this session, we'll explore how this shift is taking shape. We'll look at the principles behind unifying infrastructure and database workflows, how leading teams are reducing risk while increasing delivery velocity, and what it takes to bring stateful systems into the same continuous delivery model as application code.
Virtual
Infrastructure as Code changed how we build and operate systems. It brought consistency, repeatability, and control to infrastructure provisioning. But it also exposed a deeper gap. While infrastructure became programmable, database delivery did not evolve at the same pace. Schema changes, data dependencies, and stateful systems continued to live outside the same system of delivery.
Key Takeaways:
- Why Infrastructure as Code created a new class of challenges for database delivery
- How Database DevOps is evolving to align with continuous delivery practices
- The role of IaCM in unifying infrastructure provisioning and schema changes
- What it means to treat infrastructure and databases as a single delivery system
- How leading teams are improving reliability without slowing down innovation
