DevOpsDays Copenhagen was my first DevOpsDays event and it was my first time in Copenhagen. I really enjoyed Copenhagen, it doesn’t feel like a big city.

This talk is the combination of the different moments of my agile journey through Scrum and Kanban and the operations scope at three different levels: database, application and infrastructure.

Last July at PortoData event I made my first co-presentation with my friend Miguel Alho (@MytyMyky) and the explored topic was the relationship between databases and applications in the development process. After doing some presentations about database developing process and DevOps, this presentation was the “missing link” that allows the audience to see the “big picture”. The presentation chosen title was “Delivering changes for applications and databases” and its content is the result of the shared experience by me and …
“How about the operations?” This was a recurring question in the conversations that I had with Nuno Rafael (@nrgomes). After several discussions about agile methodologies and his effects and challenges on the operations world I accepted his challenge to deliver a session at Agile Connect community about DevOps. I decided to give my session, made at June 29, the following title: “DbOps, DevOps and Ops” because my first contact with operations was at database level (as DBA), then I progressed to infrastructure …
