It addresses the challenges of manual database change management, which often results in bottlenecks and deployment risks, by introducing automation and GitOps workflows. The module supports major databases and allows for effective collaboration between developers and DBAs by treating database code like application code, thus enhancing consistency, reliability, and delivery speed. Harness Database DevOps provides features such as native database awareness in pipelines, rollback capabilities, a unified overview of database changes, and governance controls to ensure compliance with centralized policies.
