Dev and Test Agility for Your Database with Docker

Explore containerized database development and testing in this comprehensive conference talk. Learn how to leverage Docker containers for SQL Server on Linux to enhance agility in database development and testing processes. Discover techniques for encapsulating database servers and storage, addressing data persistence concerns, and integrating containerized databases into CI/CD pipelines. Gain insights into unit testing, source code sharing, and working with relational databases in Docker environments. Follow along with practical demonstrations using Visual Studio Code, migrations, and API testing. Understand Docker file structures, image creation, and Docker Compose for managing multi-container applications. Address common challenges such as race conditions and troubleshooting containerized database setups. Explore strategies for tracking and sharing secondary data across different development branches, ultimately improving the overall agility and efficiency of database-driven application development.
