How to Safely Add a New Column to a Production Database

A new column in a database table modifies the schema, and every change to the schema is a change to the contract your application depends on. You must account for defaults, nullability, data backfill, and version compatibility between services. Simple mistakes—like adding a non-null column without defaults—can lock

How to Safely Add a New Column in a Production Database

Adding a new column is one of the most common schema updates, but it’s also one of the most dangerous if done without care. It alters your data model. It changes how your application reads and writes. Done wrong, it can lock tables, break queries, or corrupt performance. Done

Certificate Management in Continuous Integration: Preventing Failures and Securing Pipelines

That one mistake cost a day of work, a missed deployment window, and trust with your users. Continuous Integration systems are fast, but without strong controls for security certificates, they are fragile. Expired, misconfigured, or compromised certificates break pipelines, block releases, and open attack surfaces. The answer is to treat

Why TLS Configuration Matters in Continuous Integration

Nothing kills a Continuous Integration pipeline faster than bad TLS configuration. Whether it’s a self‑signed certificate, a misconfigured intermediate, or outdated ciphers, poor TLS setup costs time, trust, and confidence in your release process. For teams pushing code dozens of times a day, secure and stable TLS isn’

How to Safely Add a New Column to a Production Database

Adding a new column is one of the most common schema changes in production databases. Done right, it unlocks new capabilities. Done wrong, it blocks deploys, locks tables, and kills performance. Whether your system runs on PostgreSQL, MySQL, or a cloud-native database, the core concerns are the same: plan the

How to Safely Add a New Column to a Live Database

Adding a new column sounds simple, but in a real system, it can become a point of failure if done without care. Databases under heavy load react badly to schema changes. Migrations can lock tables, spike CPU usage, and block critical reads and writes. Done right, adding a column is

Continuous Integration Segmentation: Faster, Smarter, More Reliable Builds

The build was green until the moment it wasn’t. One small change in a pull request broke a feature three teams relied on. Hours were lost hunting it down. Continuous Integration Segmentation exists to make sure that never happens again. Instead of running every test, across every module, on

How to Safely Add a New Column in Production

Adding a new column in production is simple in theory. In practice, it can be a point of failure if done without a plan. Schema changes touch live data. Every query, every index, and every integration depends on the shape of your tables. To add a new column safely, start

Self-Service Access Requests for Continuous Integration: Speed Without Sacrificing Security

The build was stuck again, and no one could push a fix because access requests were still “pending.” Hours of delay. Work frozen. All because the process was buried in tickets and approvals that didn’t need to be there. Continuous Integration is supposed to speed you up. But when

How to Add a New Column to a Database Without Downtime

A new column changes how data works. It holds fresh values, tracks new states, and unlocks queries you could not run before. Done right, it is seamless. Done wrong, it can break production. Knowing the exact steps matters. In SQL, adding a new column is simple in syntax but complex

How to Safely Add a New Column to Your Database in Production

The query ran, and nothing happened. You looked closer. The data model was wrong. A missing new column was breaking the logic, silently killing performance and accuracy. Adding a new column in production is rarely simple. Schema changes can cause downtime, trigger expensive migrations, and ripple through dependent systems. Done

Identity and Access Management for Continuous Deployment

The moment you push. No waiting, no bottlenecks—just a clean, secure flow from commit to production, every time. Continuous deployment works best when identity and access management is built in, not bolted on. Without tight control of who can deploy, approve, or roll back changes, the whole system is

Why Continuous Deployment Needs Lnav

That’s the beauty of continuous deployment done right. Code lands, tests run, and production updates without a single manual click. Done wrong, it’s chaos. But with the right tools and process, you can ship in minutes, watch logs in real time, and sleep without dread. This is where

Continuous Deployment Forensics: How to Investigate Failures Without Losing Speed

Continuous deployment moves fast, but when something goes wrong, time becomes your enemy. Forensic investigations in a continuous deployment pipeline require precision, speed, and a clear trail of evidence. Every commit, every build, every release leaves fingerprints. The skill is knowing how to find them before users notice or revenue

Why Continuous Deployment and ISO 27001 Belong Together

The last deployment broke production. It wasn’t supposed to. Automated tests were green. The build pipeline was clean. But when code hit live, an unnoticed gap in process opened the door to risk. In a world where release velocity is everything, this is how trust gets eroded — from your

Continuous Deployment IaC Drift Detection

Your infrastructure drifts the second you look away. It changes without warning—sometimes by error, sometimes by intent, sometimes by a bug buried deep in a deployment. Drift happens fast.

Your code is ready. The deploy button should be too.

Continuous Deployment with an Enterprise License is no longer a nice-to-have—it’s the heartbeat of modern software delivery at scale. Teams that push updates every hour instead of every quarter build faster, fail faster, and recover faster. But to do that across large organizations, you need more than scripts

Zero-Downtime Strategies for Adding a New Column in Production

The culprit was a missing new column in the database schema. Adding a new column sounds trivial. In production, it is not. Schema changes touch data, code, and deployment pipelines. A single misstep can stall the release, lock a table, or lose writes. The first step is to define the

A single schema change can bring a system to its knees. Adding a new column seems simple, but in production it can trigger downtime, lock tables, and block writes. Done right, it expands capabilities without breaking availability. Done wrong, it costs you trust, data, and money. A new column is

Build database changes you can trust

Adding a new column to a production database is simple in theory, but careless execution can freeze queries, lock tables, or break downstream systems. The pattern is always the same—schema change, deploy, pray. It doesn’t have to be that way. A new column should start with clarity. Define

GDPR Compliance in Continuous Deployment: Building Privacy into Your CI/CD Pipeline

The Power of Continuous Deployment with Immutability

That’s the power of continuous deployment with immutability. No hidden drift. No half-updated services lurking in production. Every release is a clean, atomic change that can be trusted.
