In July at Porto.Data community I made a presentation about the deployment pipeline for Azure SQL databases.
In June I made the presentation “Operations for databases – the agile/devops journey” at DevOps Lisbon. This talk is the combination of the different moments of my agile journey through Scrum and Kanban and the operations scope at three different levels: database, application and infrastructure. It was great to present to DevOps Lisbon community and I’m hoping to repeat in future.

Scrum Gathering Portugal was my last event of 2016. My good friend Miguel Alho (@MytyMyky) and I delivered the workshop “DevOps: delivering changes for applications and databases”. The purpose was to explore the key technical (and cultural) aspects of creating a continuous delivery pipeline, from code inception to getting the conde into production. We created so much and so good material that we hope we can repeat this experience/workshop in the future.
24HOP Portuguese is a online event that is organized and executed by PASS together with Portuguese and Brazilian SQL Server communities a and with the support of Global Portuguese Virtual Chapter. The event had 24 sessions in Portuguese about Microsoft data platform. My session was about state vs migrations approach for database source control.
This was my second SQLSaturday Porto as member of the organization team and my first time as speaker. After the stressful initial preparation: conference rooms, speakers room, check-in area, networking/coffee break area and all the other logistic details, I presented my session about source control for database. The feeling and the feedback from attendees and speakers about the event organization was globally positive. The same thing can be said about my talk. You can find the slides here:
