Case study: 13 Common Mistakes Organizations Make With DLM and How to Solve ThemRed Gate Software
Ike Ellis, SQL Server MVP - presentation at SQL in the City
At its most fun, software development is a team sport. Think of an NFL team. Does the quarterback know where the running back or tight-end will be? Does he do his job in a vacuum or with coordination and support from his teammates?
However, if the teammate isn't doing what they're supposed to do, the play dissolves and leads not only to losing a game, but also individual dissatisfaction. Come to this session to learn how to coordinate and communicate as a team, improving individual and overall developer effectiveness.

The results are in! Join our expert panel, Kendra Little, Kellyn Pot’Vin Gorman & Grant Fritchey, to dig into key findings from Redgate’s fourth annual State of Database DevOps Report and learn how to use these insights to drive improvements in your own software development process.
Our webinar panel this year includes specialists with expertise in both Oracle and SQL Server, as well as experience implementing and managing Agile methodologies and compliant database DevOps in Enterprise environments.
We will share key findings and insights from this year’s report, which received input from more than two thousand developers, DBAs, and IT leaders worldwide, representing all industry verticals. Topics will include:
• Frequent database deployments are increasing: 49% of respondents now report they deploy database changes to production weekly or more frequently;
• The two top perceived obstacles to implementing DevOps are now concerns about upskilling and disruption to existing workflows. We will discuss how business cases to implement database DevOps should address these concerns;
• Developers are now involved in the majority of production database deployments, continuing an increasing trend we have seen across four years of this study. We will discuss what this means for both developers and DBAs;
• Most respondents deploy changes to their most business-critical databases while the system is online. Those who perform all or nearly all deployments with the system online reported lower lead time for changes and lower defect rates. We will discuss why this makes sense and how teams achieve this;
• Respondents who report that it is easy to get a code review for database changes also report lower production defect rates and lower lead time for changes to be deployed to production. We will discuss how to optimize database code review for different organization and team sizes.

MongoDB in a scale-up: how to get away from a monolithic hell — MongoDB Paris...Horgix
This is the slide deck of a talk by Alexis "Horgix" Chotard and Laurentiu Capatina presented at the MongoDB Paris User Group in June 2024 about the feedback on how PayFit move away from a monolithic hell of a self-hosted MongoDB cluster to managed alternatives. Pitch below.
March 15, 2023, 6:59 AM: a MongoDB cluster collapses. Tough luck, this cluster contains 95% of user data and is absolutely vital for even minimal operation of our application. To worsen matters, this cluster is 7 years behind on versions, is not scalable, and barely observable. Furthermore, even the data model would quickly raise eyebrows: applications communicating with each other by reading/writing in the same MongoDB documents, documents reaching the maximum limit of 16MiB with hundreds of levels of nesting, and so forth. The incident will last several days and result in the loss of many users. We've seen better scenarios.
Let's explore how PayFit found itself in this hellish situation and, more importantly, how we managed to overcome it!
On the agenda: technical stabilization, untangling data models, breaking apart a Single Point of Failure (SPOF) into several elements with a more restricted blast radius, transitioning to managed services, improving internal accesses, regaining control over risky operations, and ultimately, approaching a technical migration when it impacts all development teams.
L'IA connaît une croissance rapide et son intégration dans le domaine éducatif soulève de nombreuses questions. Aujourd'hui, nous explorerons comment les étudiants utilisent l'IA, les perceptions des enseignants à ce sujet, et les mesures possibles pour encadrer ces usages.
Constat Actuel
L'IA est de plus en plus présente dans notre quotidien, y compris dans l'éducation. Certaines universités, comme Science Po en janvier 2023, ont interdit l'utilisation de l'IA, tandis que d'autres, comme l'Université de Prague, la considèrent comme du plagiat. Cette diversité de positions souligne la nécessité urgente d'une réponse institutionnelle pour encadrer ces usages et prévenir les risques de triche et de plagiat.
Enquête Nationale
Pour mieux comprendre ces dynamiques, une enquête nationale intitulée "L'IA dans l'enseignement" a été réalisée. Les auteurs de cette enquête sont Le Sphynx (sondage) et Compilatio (fraude académique). Elle a été diffusée dans les universités de Lyon et d'Aix-Marseille entre le 21 juin et le 15 août 2023, touchant 1242 enseignants et 4443 étudiants. Les questionnaires, conçus pour étudier les usages de l'IA et les représentations de ces usages, abordaient des thèmes comme les craintes, les opportunités et l'acceptabilité.
Résultats de l'Enquête
Les résultats montrent que 55 % des étudiants utilisent l'IA de manière occasionnelle ou fréquente, contre 34 % des enseignants. Cependant, 88 % des enseignants pensent que leurs étudiants utilisent l'IA, ce qui pourrait indiquer une surestimation des usages. Les usages identifiés incluent la recherche d'informations et la rédaction de textes, bien que ces réponses ne puissent pas être cumulées dans les choix proposés.
Analyse Critique
Une analyse plus approfondie révèle que les enseignants peinent à percevoir les bénéfices de l'IA pour l'apprentissage, contrairement aux étudiants. La question de savoir si l'IA améliore les notes sans développer les compétences reste débattue. Est-ce un dopage académique ou une opportunité pour un apprentissage plus efficace ?
Acceptabilité et Éthique
L'enquête révèle que beaucoup d'étudiants jugent acceptable d'utiliser l'IA pour rédiger leurs devoirs, et même un quart des enseignants partagent cet avis. Cela pose des questions éthiques cruciales : copier-coller est-il tricher ? Utiliser l'IA sous supervision ou pour des traductions est-il acceptable ? La réponse n'est pas simple et nécessite un débat ouvert.
Propositions et Solutions
Pour encadrer ces usages, plusieurs solutions sont proposées. Plutôt que d'interdire l'IA, il est suggéré de fixer des règles pour une utilisation responsable. Des innovations pédagogiques peuvent également être explorées, comme la création de situations de concurrence professionnelle ou l'utilisation de détecteurs d'IA.
Conclusion
En conclusion, bien que l'étude présente des limites, elle souligne un besoin urgent de régulation. Une charte institutionnelle pourrait fournir un cadre pour une utilisation éthique.

The incident will last several days and result in the loss of many users. We've seen better scenarios.
Let's explore how PayFit found itself in this hellish situation and, more importantly, how we managed to overcome it!
On the agenda: technical stabilization, untangling data models, breaking apart a Single Point of Failure (SPOF) into several elements with a more restricted blast radius, transitioning to managed services, improving internal accesses, regaining control over risky operations, and ultimately, approaching a technical migration when it impacts all development teams.
L'IA connaît une croissance rapide et son intégration dans le domaine éducatif soulève de nombreuses questions. Aujourd'hui, nous explorerons comment les étudiants utilisent l'IA, les perceptions des enseignants à ce sujet, et les mesures possibles pour encadrer ces usages.
Constat Actuel
L'IA est de plus en plus présente dans notre quotidien, y compris dans l'éducation. Certaines universités, comme Science Po en janvier 2023, ont interdit l'utilisation de l'IA, tandis que d'autres, comme l'Université de Prague, la considèrent comme du plagiat. Cette diversité de positions souligne la nécessité urgente d'une réponse institutionnelle pour encadrer ces usages et prévenir les risques de triche et de plagiat.
Enquête Nationale
Pour mieux comprendre ces dynamiques, une enquête nationale intitulée "L'IA dans l'enseignement" a été réalisée. Les auteurs de cette enquête sont Le Sphynx (sondage) et Compilatio (fraude académique). Elle a été diffusée dans les universités de Lyon et d'Aix-Marseille entre le 21 juin et le 15 août 2023, touchant 1242 enseignants et 4443 étudiants. Les questionnaires, conçus pour étudier les usages de l'IA et les représentations de ces usages, abordaient des thèmes comme les craintes, les opportunités et l'acceptabilité.
Résultats de l'Enquête
Les résultats montrent que 55 % des étudiants utilisent l'IA de manière occasionnelle ou fréquente, contre 34 % des enseignants. Cependant, 88 % des enseignants pensent que leurs étudiants utilisent l'IA, ce qui pourrait indiquer une surestimation des usages. Les usages identifiés incluent la recherche d'informations et la rédaction de textes, bien que ces réponses ne puissent pas être cumulées dans les choix proposés.
Analyse Critique
Une analyse plus approfondie révèle que les enseignants peinent à percevoir les bénéfices de l'IA pour l'apprentissage, contrairement aux étudiants. La question de savoir si l'IA améliore les notes sans développer les compétences reste débattue. Est-ce un dopage académique ou une opportunité pour un apprentissage plus efficace ?
Acceptabilité et Éthique
L'enquête révèle que beaucoup d'étudiants jugent acceptable d'utiliser l'IA pour rédiger leurs devoirs, et même un quart des enseignants partagent cet avis. Cela pose des questions éthiques cruciales : copier-coller est-il tricher ? Utiliser l'IA sous supervision ou pour des traductions est-il acceptable ? La réponse n'est pas simple et nécessite un débat ouvert.
Propositions et Solutions
Pour encadrer ces usages, plusieurs solutions sont proposées. Plutôt que d'interdire l'IA, il est suggéré de fixer des règles pour une utilisation responsable. Des innovations pédagogiques peuvent également être explorées, comme la création de situations de concurrence professionnelle ou l'utilisation de détecteurs d'IA.
Conclusion
En conclusion, bien que l'étude présente des limites, elle souligne un besoin urgent de régulation. Une charte institutionnelle pourrait fournir un cadre pour une utilisation éthique.

Vous êtes certainement à l’origine, ou impliqué, dans un changement au sein de votre organisation. Et peut être que cela ne se passe pas aussi bien qu’attendu…
Depuis plusieurs années, je fais régulièrement le constat de l’échec de l’adoption de l’Agilité, et plus globalement de grands changements, dans les organisations. Je vais tenter de vous expliquer pourquoi ils suscitent peu d'adhésion, peu d’engagement, et ils ne tiennent pas dans le temps.
Heureusement, il existe un autre chemin. Pour l'emprunter il s'agira de cultiver l'invitation, l'intelligence collective , la mécanique des jeux, les rites de passages, .... afin que l'agilité prenne racine.
Vous repartirez de cette conférence en ayant pris du recul sur le changement tel qu‘il est généralement opéré aujourd’hui, et en ayant découvert (ou redécouvert) le seul guide valable à suivre, à mon sens, pour un changement authentique, durable, et respectueux des individus! Et en bonus, 2 ou 3 trucs pratiques!
Le Comptoir OCTO - Qu’apporte l’analyse de cycle de vie lors d’un audit d’éco...OCTO Technology
