Branching Beyond Git: Transform your development process with database branching
Tools-in-Action (INTERMEDIATE level)
Branching in Git allows developers to experiment with new features without impacting the main code base. The problem is that developer teams work on multiple branches simultaneously that share the same development or staging database, which can create conflicts and make it difficult to revert changes or test new features without affecting others.
This talk will explore the benefits of incorporating database branching into your development workflows. We'll see how database branching can help developer teams collaborate better, add it to your GitHub Actions to streamline their CI/CD pipeline, and test features in a safe and isolated environment without affecting the live production database.
We'll explore the underlying serverless architecture and branching building blocks, such as copy-on-write, which allows for creating a full copy of your database instantly.
Join us to learn how to take your development process to the next level!
