This matches similar findings in research from Redgate Software, which sponsored the report and provided input.<\/p>\n<p>The longest-running research of its kind, the Accelerate report from DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) has consistently shown that higher software delivery performance delivers powerful business outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, a new theme in this year\u2019s report was to identify the technical practices that drive higher performance and unlock competitive advantage. They include monitoring and observability, continuous testing, \u2018shifting left\u2019 on security and, importantly, database change management.<\/p>\n<h2>Software delivery performance<\/h2>\n<p>In terms of DevOps itself, the report shows that the highest performing organisations which adopt DevOps release changes 46 times more frequently, have a change failure rate that is 7 times lower, and are able to recover from breaking changes 2,604 times faster.<\/p>\n<p>Crucially, the lead time from committing changes to being able to deploy them is less than one hour in the highest performing organisations \u2013 and between one and six months in low performers. Between 46% and 60% of changes deployed by low performers also require some form of hotfix, rollback, or patch.<\/p>\n<p>Database development has entered the picture because deploying changes to the database is often the bottleneck in software development and slows down releases. To address this, the report investigated which database-related practices help when implementing continuous delivery to improve software delivery performance and availability.<\/p>\n<h2>Continuous delivery<\/h2>\n<p>The results revealed that teams which do continuous delivery well use version control for database changes and manage them in the same way as changes to the application. It also showed that integrating database development into software delivery positively contributes to performance, with changes to the database no longer slowing processes down or causing problems during deployments.<\/p>\n<p>The starting block is communication, cross-team collaboration and visibility, which echoes Redgate\u2019s own\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.red-gate.com\/solutions\/database-devops\/report-2018\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/www.red-gate.com\/solutions\/database-devops\/report-2018\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">2018 State of Database DevOps Survey<\/span><\/a>\u00a0earlier in the year. This showed that 76% of developers are now responsible for both application and database development, and 58% reported their development teams and DBAs work on projects together.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDevOps has become widely accepted in application development and it\u2019s increasingly being recognised that database development can\u2019t be left behind,&#8221; comments\u00a0Stephanie Herr, Database DevOps Product Manager, Redgate.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Tools are now available that integrate with and plug into the same version control, continuous integration and release management tools used for applications. More importantly, the business case for adopting DevOps for the database has now also been demonstrated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Written from press release by Leah
