DevOps and site reliability engineering (SRE) are complementary strategies that enhance both speed and reliability in software development. While DevOps focuses on collaboration and automation to break down silos between development and operations, SRE emphasizes engineering reliability through metrics and accountability. By integrating both approaches, organizations can foster high-quality software delivery that meets reliability standards, streamline incident response, and utilize data-driven decision-making to maintain system performance.

Do you spend so long manipulating your data into something vaguely useful that you don’t have the time to focus on analysing the what the data is telling you?If that’s rings true then you’re not alone. It’s something we’ve seen many times. Someone spending the majority of their time locked away putting a monthly board pack together. Someone else spending so much time linking data from several different sources of various quality that by the time they’ve gone through all that, they’re not only exhausted, but they don’t have any time to actually focus on the whole point of the…

It was neat to stumble on this in the book, a piece by me, just a few years after Redgate acquired SQL Server Central. I’ll let the words speak for themselves.I have a copy of the Book of Redgate from 2010. This was a book we produced internally about the company after 10 years in existence. At that time, I’d been there for about 3 years, and it was interesting to learn a some things about the company. This series of posts looks back at the Book of Redgate 15 years later.

Now, with AI flooding the enterprise, that friction is spiking. One recent survey found a staggering 322% jump in privilege-escalation risks tied to AI-generated code. The root problem isn’t new – […]
