Bridging the DevOps Gap: Making Database Changes as Fast as Application Deployments without Compromising Performance and Compliance

Harness and DBmarlin are working together to bring you this important capability.
In today’s fast-paced development environments, database changes often remain the Achilles’ heel of DevOps processes - slowing down your release cycle.

The session will cover:
- Why database changes are more complex than application changes
- How to make database changes easier, safer, and faster
- How Harness Database DevOps and DBmarlin offer you a unique advantage
