What I’ve learned from 10 years of remote working

At a Redgate Summit in May, I gave a 20-minute presentation on the challenges of working from home. I presented on the topic, because, unlike many people, I’ve been working remotely my entire time at Redgate. That’s almost 10 years of remote work. So I’ve managed to screw up quite a few things and... Read more

JVM Properties

At its core, Flyway is a Java library, though it hooks into many clients which are frequently used in non-Java contexts. For non-Java contexts we’d like Flyway to be as platform-agnostic as possible. Nonetheless, some Java-specific concepts have to be exposed, like our use of Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) drivers. The Flyway Command Line... Read more

Continuous Integration vs Continuous Deployment

The terms Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment tend to be combined into the acronym CI/CD, often without any distinction between the two. CI and CD are distinct processes, even if this combining of terms suggests that Continuous Deployment is an extension of Continuous Integration, and the execution of both processes is the responsibility of a single tool. Assuming... Read more

Unlocking the value of frequent database deployments

The generally agreed finding is the need to deliver more value to our customers, and how we can make the delivery of that value as smooth as possible.... Read more

Using Git Hooks with Flyway

When you’re on your own developing a simple application, managing your migration scripts is not a demanding task; each time you add a script, it gets the next version number in whatever sequence you’ve decided on using. When your application takes off and you find you have a team working on migrations simultaneously, sharing... Read more

In Redgate’s third annual survey on the state of monitoring, still the... Read more
