Strong DevOps drives successful software delivery. Strong DevOps requires more frequent code deployments, faster lead times, quicker incident recovery times and lower change failure rates for application and database code. The DORA team at Google set out to investigate what practices set top-performing DevOps teams apart and how this gives them a competitive edge. 

Please join Dr. Nicole Forsgren, DORA Lead, Google and Robert Reeves, co-founder and CTO, Datical to learn more about the survey findings and explore how these relate to essential database practices for successful software delivery and strong DevOps.
