Getting Started Quickly with DB DevOps

on YouTube ↗20m

" summary

A live demo shows Flyway wiring into GitHub with a runner, creating sandbox Dev/Test/Staging databases, and using a free Fly Autopilot tutorial repo to go from zero to CI/CD in about 30 minutes. The system detects schema changes, collates them, and can generate migrations (forward and rollback), run builds and sandbox tests, produce per-database reports, and orchestrate deployments across hundreds to thousands of databases while preserving version state.
