Broadcom leads the market with an open-first approach to mainframe DevOps that includes the automation and monitoring of mainframe Db2 database changes alongside application changes. We provide the freedom to combine mainframe native tools, including those designed for database management, with powerful off-platform ones.
Databases are not the same as applications – they are diverse configuration environments consisting of multiple, interrelated objects, and database changes cannot be treated exactly like application changes. Databases carry a much higher risk to change, and the DBA remains the best person to manage multi-system dependencies. But many of the tools that DBAs use manually now offer automation capabilities that can be baked into the application DevOps process.
Enterprises that have fully adopted DevOps are achieving orders of magnitude improvements in throughput and stability as measured against their peers.
A more focused strategy on integrating database change automation into DevOps tools and practices can turn ordinary results into elite results.
