Your developers are already using AI agents. GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code. Not just for autocomplete, but to generate features, run test suites, and iterate across branches. Each agent needs a database to work against. And in most organizations, nobody has checked what's actually in that database, or whether it should be there.

In today’s cloud-driven, multi-platform environments, answering the simple question - who owns that database? - is no longer straightforward. As teams adopt open-source tools and spin up cloud services on demand, ownership is becoming fragmented across development, operations, and data teams. This shift is accelerating innovation but also creating new challenges in visibility, control, and accountability, as Grant Fritchey explains.

Part 3, key insights from a fireside chat with Chris Yates. Read part 1 here, and part 2 here. Most database monitoring proof of concepts (POCs) answer the wrong questions. Here's how to structure a proof of concept that genuinely de-risks your vendor decision with the questions to ask during the process. A POC is often treated as the final hurdle in vendor evaluation, but too often, it becomes theatre. A guided tour of the flashiest features, run by one person, under unrealistic conditions.

Part 2: Key insights from a fireside chat with Chris Yates. Read part 1 here. Choosing a database monitoring vendor isn't just about features. Once you’re confident that it’s time to reassess your database monitoring strategy, the natural instinct is to start comparing products. However, it’s vital to know how to assess vendor relationships, support quality, and product innovation before you sign anything.

Compliance Without Compromise: Test Data Management That Finally Fits You know you shouldn't have sensitive production data in test environments. But every time you look at fixing it, the options feel impossible: enterprise tools that cost six figures and take months to implement, or DIY scripts that sort of work until they don't. So, it stays on the backlog.

AI-assisted coding may speed up delivery, but it can also increase the risk around database changes. Here’s how Flyway helps teams stay in control. Tony and Tonie discuss how Flyway Enterprise helps teams build control into the database change process: immediate change visibility, continuous risk reduction, and secure, traceable deployment from commit to production.

Taking the initiative. Prioritizing relationships. Doing the work nobody else wants to do. These are just some of the elements that contributed to Chris Yates’ rise from a developer to a DBA and, eventually, a Senior Vice President. As he explains to Steve Jones, “you are the CEO of your own brand.” Also in the episode: discover Chris’ thoughts on AI, the importance of community, and the one thing he’d now do differently if he were to start from scratch.

That “simple” production database refactor may be more dangerous than it looks. Learn how Data Modeler helps teams minimize the risk. Once a database is live, even simple design improvements can affect data, applications, reports, and integrations in unexpected ways. Tony and Tonie discuss how Redgate Data Modeler helps teams map out the proposed changes visually, expose hidden dependencies, and plan a safer roll out.

Are engineering teams quietly accepting more risk? Redgate's 2026 State of the Database Landscape report reveals that people are increasingly willing to accept more risk to be more productive and take full advantage of AI’s capabilities. Steve Jones, Kellyn Gorman, Grant Fritchey and Pat Wright share their thoughts on that in today's episode. They share stories from their own careers, debate on whether the decline of the DBA 'gatekeeper' role has weakened security practices, how AI is amplifying the problem - and much more.
