Who are the Friends of Redgate?
Our Friends are all experts on the Microsoft Data Platform, know Redgate and our tools, and share our commitment to the community.
Over the last 20 years, our Friends have worked with us to create a whole host of learning content, solve problems on the forums, and develop even better software for our users. Their recommendations have also enabled us to reach and help more data professionals across the world.
The Friends of Redgate are an integral part of the Redgate team; generously sharing their time, expertise and insights with us. We’re hugely grateful for all their support and look forward to collaborating with the group, and helping them in any way we can, for many years to come.

“Redgate tools have helped me become a better and more efficient developer. Their support helped us grow our local user group and SQLSaturday. And their community focus played a part in changing my life. Because of this, I want to give back where I can, and I get to do that by being a Friend of Redgate.”
“We work with the Redgate development and product teams to provide feedback on existing products, new tools, and feature enhancements. You can also find us doing things like speaking at events, writing articles on Redgate tools, and participating on the Redgate forums. Last year, I even got to present at SQL in the City Summit in Chicago as a result of being in this program.”
“As a multi-year awardee in the program I get to see first-hand the continuing dedication Redgate has to the SQL community and to making great software.”
“The first time I experienced #SQLFamily was with Redgate. They’re very community focused. The program is a collaboration area between Redgaters and Friends. I’ve made lifelong friends and have gained an insight into the tools, which has been extremely beneficial.”
