Octopus presenting at Redgate's SQL in the City Summit

In a discussion about the importance of DevOps, Bob Walker emphasizes the need for Development and Operations teams to collaborate towards common goals, such as automating deployments, including database changes, to reduce risk and improve efficiency. He acknowledges that while automating code deployments is often prioritized, databases are frequently overlooked, despite being critical to applications. Walker highlights the efforts of Octopus Deploy in promoting comprehensive automation across code, databases, and infrastructure, and announces upcoming presentations by himself and colleague Derek Campbell at the SQL in the City Summit, where they will discuss the advantages of Database DevOps. He encourages participation in these events, offering registration discounts, and underscores his role as Field CTO at Octopus Deploy, focusing on stakeholder engagement and thought leadership.
