IaC Isn't Enough for Database Delivery (May 7th)
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.
This separation is no longer sustainable. In a world of continuous delivery, distributed architectures, and rapid iteration, treating infrastructure and database changes as separate workflows introduces hidden failure points. Drift becomes harder to detect. Deployments lose their atomicity. Teams spend more time coordinating than delivering.
