Windocks
Windocks provides on-demand Oracle, SQL Server, as well as other databases that can be customized for Dev, Test, Reporting, ML, DevOps, and DevOps. Windocks database orchestration allows for code-free end to end automated delivery. This includes masking, synthetic data, Git operations and access controls, as well as secrets management. Databases can be delivered to conventional instances, Kubernetes or Docker containers.
Windocks can be installed on standard Linux or Windows servers in minutes. It can also run on any public cloud infrastructure or on-premise infrastructure. One VM can host up 50 concurrent database environments. When combined with Docker containers, enterprises often see a 5:1 reduction of lower-level database VMs.

Liquibase
One area that has not benefited as much from DevOps is the database change process. It is time to bring CI/CD into the database. In the last few years, application release technology has advanced significantly. It used to take weeks, if not months, to release new software. Organizations have changed their workflows and processes so that it takes just days or even hours to release new software. Every software project must perform database schema migrations. There are many reasons why database updates are necessary. New features may require the addition of new attributes to existing tables, or completely new tables. Bug fixes can lead to changes in the names and data types of the database. Additional indexes may be required to address performance issues. Manual rework is still common in DevOps-adopted organizations when it comes to stored procedure and database schema changes.
