Redgate: Navigating the database landscape in 2025: Simplifying complexity
How does the database landscape look in 2025?
Since 2017, Redgate has surveyed thousands of global practitioners to examine how our industry is changing, and provide advice and guidance for today’s database professional.
How can you deliver on business objectives while navigating the increasingly complex database landscape? Whether you’re a developer, DBA, IT leader, or CTO, join our livestream on February 12th to find out.
Understand the trends
We report on the latest trends in multiple database platform usage and movement to, and from, the cloud. We uncover the security issues you’re really worrying about, and show just how many people are using AI – in exactly which functions and processes.
- Security concerns are wide-ranging with top three issues being keeping development and testing environments up to date, ensuring regulatory compliance, and managing growing volumes of data
- Concerns about the usage of AI in database management have risen sharply, with 61% of respondents citing data security and privacy as a key concern, up from 41% in 2023
- The race to the cloud has slowed as the percentage of those hosting databases all or mostly in the cloud has dropped, and both hybrid and on-premises hosting increased in 2024
Stay ahead in your career
One of the biggest surprises from this year's survey was the finding that skillset requirements and individual or team training are the biggest challenge facing organizations managing different database technologies.
Skillset requirements are a bigger concern than data integration complexities, monitoring and troubleshooting, and even data security and access controls. Set against the backdrop of continued and growing complexity, it’s critical we address these challenges. Join our livestream to hear industry expert views on a new approach for professional development.
Redgate Advocates, Kellyn Gorman and Steve Jones, along with Mri Pandit, Senior Manager at Navy Federal Credit Union, will discuss key insights from this year’s survey and highlight new approaches to simplify the complex demands of today’s data professionals.
