Session Details:
This session is for the fearless, gutsy, and heroic data professional who spends most of their working hours fixing a burning platform in production.
Being skilled to fix the train while it's running solves a lot of business problems but it's going to leave you exhausted or maybe even burned out. Here is where a code repository and automated deployments can help save your job in more ways than one.
Even if your scenario is not that grim, you could leverage code repos for many other benefits;
Can you share your code/artifacts for peer review?
Can you do so securely?
How do you track what requirement was released and when?
Can you roll back?
The impact of using a CICD platform such as Azure DevOps to host your requirements and the code itself is invaluable, and I will show you why.
We will be following an artifact (SQL Database, Azure Function or something entirely diff) from inception to actual running service/code through the use of a number of Work Items in Azure DevOps in collaboration with an Azure Repo and finally packaged and deployed using Azure Pipeline/Release.
Join this session if you want to get a guided tour on how you could implement Azure DevOps in your organisation or team.
