The TugaIT 2016, May 21, was so far the biggest event that I participated was a speaker. The logistic challenge was characterized by 9 tracks, each track with 6 sessions, making a total of 64 sessions. At the end of the event two combined words remain in my mind: monstrously amazing.

My participation on the TugaIT event started on the day before, Friday May 20, with the workshop “Deep walkthrough of some of the most popular/innovative features in SQL server storage engine” by Sunil Agarwal (@S_u_n_e_e_l). In addition to get to know very interesting features in SQL server 2016 edition, Sunil Agarwal can explain how they work in a very simple and easy way to understand. In fact when you listen him talking everything in SQL server seems easy and simple. The day ended with the speaker’s dinner where I had the opportunity to know and socialize with other speakers.

Next day, Saturday May 21, I made my session “Road to database automation”. This session addressed the challenges of the first step of the database automation process: database source control. Despite being part of the last sessions of the day, I had a good assistance and very interactive. I was glad to know the more people is doing database source control.
