Whitepaper

Faster and safer, by design - Database governance for AI and the agentic era

Governance is what makes speed safe.

AI has removed the constraint on how fast teams can write database change, but most organizations are still governing that change with yesterday's processes. The result: the database has become the least governed, highest-risk layer in the delivery pipeline, right as AI pushes change volume to machine speed.

This whitepaper sets out what good database governance looks like in the AI and agentic era, and how Redgate Flyway Enterprise puts that governance into practice without slowing teams down.

What you'll learn:

  • Why AI has moved the delivery bottleneck from writing database change to governing it
  • Why speed and control aren't a trade-off; and what the evidence shows about teams that achieve both
  • A five-stage reference model for governed database change, whether it's authored by a person or an AI agent
  • The determinism principle that makes agentic AI safe to use against a live database
  • The measurable outcomes — safety, speed, and auditability — organizations are already seeing
