NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar. Understand more

Adopt ? We feel strongly that the industry should be adopting these items. We use them when appropriate on our projects.
If the rate at which business is changing is an indicator of change in requirements, then the days of doing upfront database design are gone. Instead, projects should follow evolutionary database techniques and continue to change their database schemas as new requirements are implemented over the course of the project. Deployment of database changes should also be automated so that the application release that relies on those changes does not have to wait for manual deployment of the database changes. Automated database deployment ensures that application and database changes can be deployed automatically. Evolutionary database and automated database deployments ensure highly productive teams a path to continuous delivery.

Trial ? Worth pursuing. It is important to understand how to build up this capability. Enterprises should try this technology on a project that can handle the risk.
When moving to continuous delivery, deployment of database changes should also be automated so that the application release that relies on those changes does not have to wait for manual deployment of the database changes. Automated database deployment ensures that the full cycle of deploying application and database changes is automated.
