Stephen Atwell, a key figure at Harness, is set to present on Database DevOps at the upcoming KubeCon conference alongside Chris Crow from Portworx. Their session will delve into the complexities of managing stateful applications within Kubernetes environments, focusing on the use of tools such as Harness, Portworx, Liquibase, and Argo to automate data migrations and ensure zero downtime deployments. The talk will explore practical strategies for implementing Database DevOps to support agile software practices, highlighting the integration of database changes into continuous delivery pipelines to enhance deployment reliability and innovation velocity. Atwell's extensive experience in IT operations and software development has informed his leadership in developing Harness's Database DevOps product, which aims to seamlessly align database management with modern software development principles. This initiative, which has been shaped by feedback from over 30 customers, is entering a public beta phase, inviting participants to help refine its capabilities. The presentation aims to equip attendees with foundational knowledge and techniques for database refactoring, crucial for maintaining data consistency and application delivery speed in stateful environments.
