Moving a database from on-premises to the cloud is easy to get wrong: undersized instances, surprise costs, unplanned downtime. Join Kellyn and John as we look at Redgate Monitor's new database migration planning feature, designed to help you size, plan, and cost a move with real data instead of guesswork.

Before butting and renovating our floating home in Portland, Oregon, I made researching and the unique challenges of renovating/living on a floating home a hobby. I’ll talk about the house and why there are over 900 floating homes in the Portland area, along with why I love living on one!

Every technological leap forward starts the same way: someone decides to go further than anyone thought possible, trusting the instruments, the training, and the innovations of everyone who came before them. That's as true for database professionals adopting AI today as it was for the first...

AI is being pulled into the data layer faster than most organizations can articulate why. The pressure is applied into every roadmap, every vendor conversation, and every leadership meeting now includes some version of ""what's our AI story?"" The proximity to data is not the same as...

AI assistants and MCP servers are already connecting to production databases, whether a developer wired one up to chase a bug or an analyst is using one to query data. For most DBAs, the question isn’t whether to allow it. It’s whether you’d notice if something went wrong. In Redgate’s State of...

Have you ever wondered why your systems seem to be "humming" along and then all of a sudden someone pushes a button, and the hum turns into a roar of a thousand engines? Perhaps you have lots of little minions running constantly on your system until one big minion comes along and messes the whole thing up?

As AI becomes increasingly integrated into software development, optimizing CI/CD pipelines for hybrid and cloud environments requires a balance between automation, security, and governance.

The data professional of 2026 might be a career database expert…or simply the closest thing your organization has to a data professional. The database landscape has never been more complex, and the modern data professional is tasked with balancing shifting platform trends and emerging technology...

This session focuses on efficient, responsible use of AI in the modern workplace, highlighting where AI adds measurable value and where it doesn’t. You’ll learn how to think critically about AI features, how to avoid over-automation, and how to use AI to amplify expertise rather than dilute it....

AI is everywhere in today’s world. It’s embedded into tools, workflows, and platforms and yet according to MIT, 95% of generative AI pilots are failing ( https://fortune.com/2025/08/18/mit-report-95-percent-generative-ai-pilots-at-companies-failing-cfo/ ) How often is AI genuinely solving problems, or is it just the latest layer of complexity wrapped in hype?

As AI becomes increasingly integrated into software development, optimizing CI/CD pipelines for hybrid and cloud environments requires a balance between automation, security, and governance. This session explores how to leverage DevOps best practices and tools to build scalable, secure, and AI-enhanced CI/CD solutions that support the entire development lifecycle—from code commit to production dep

Redgate’s State of the Database Landscape report reflects on where we are and shines a light on where we’re headed. Whether you’re shaping strategy in the C-suite or building solutions on the front lines, this keynote with Kelly Gorman and Grant Fritchey will show you how the trends, insights,...

Protecting data with the introduction of AI and data lakes are on the lips of everyone with the sheer number of data breeches that occur every day. This session will discuss fundamental strategies and recommended practices on how to leverage the power of data without it breaking the bank or...

In this session, Kellyn Gorman will dive into how DevOps transforms database projects through streamlined automation and modern practices. Attendees will gain insights into flexible version control for databases, schema migrations, and how it integrates with CI/CD pipelines to simplify database releases.

Despite substantial investments from various organizations aimed at bolstering the representation and success of Women in Technology (WIT), the sector continues to grapple with the challenges of bias and underrepresentation.

We all have that one or two "whales in the pond" that we need to migrate to the cloud and know they can't go Azure SQL or even Managed Instance. What options are there to run these IO intensive SQL workloads in the cloud?
