In order to proceed with this step, you should be ready with a continuous integration system for your database project.

These are few of the complexities because of which several organizations choose to stick to manual deployment of database changes.īut through the course of this tutorial, let us try to simplify the setup of a continuous delivery pipeline and see how we can reduce the manual intervention and eliminate possible errors and learn how to mitigate a deployment failure. Backgroundĭatabase deployment is not as straightforward as application deployment as many factors like schema changes, data changes, data persistence and other miscellaneous factors such as deployment downtime, fear of changes, etc., take over. At the end of the article, we established that a continuous deployment system is essential for smooth delivery of modifications in a project.Īgain, as mentioned in the previous article, there are several tools available to implement continuous deployment but for this course, let us take Octopus Deploy and learn how to set up a pipeline for continuous delivery of your code to various environments.

In my previous article, we have seen how to implement a continuous integration system for Microsoft SQL Server databases in addition to having a source control system.
