The final part of the "Enterprise CI/CD best practices" series emphasizes the critical role of databases in the continuous delivery process, advocating for their treatment as integral components, akin to software projects, to ensure effective updates and rollbacks. It highlights the importance of automating database updates to match the rigor applied to application code, while also advocating for gradual database upgrades to maintain compatibility and minimize downtime. The series underscores the necessity of using CI/CD platforms exclusively for deployments to maintain traceability, and encourages the adoption of progressive deployment patterns, which, when combined with comprehensive application and infrastructure metrics, enable automated rollbacks. It also stresses the need for staging environments to closely mirror production for effective testing, while advising organizations to adopt these best practices gradually, focusing first on those deemed critical, to enhance efficiency and reduce deployment failures.
