This document provides an overview of Azure DevOps and how it can benefit developers. It discusses key features such as source control, work item tracking, continuous integration and delivery pipelines, and how SQL Server Data Tools can be used. The presenter has over 20 years of experience in technology and is a Microsoft MVP. They provide a demonstration of using Azure DevOps and SSDT for a database project. Resources for learning more are also included.
Azure DevOps for Developers
- 1. for Developers Presented by Sarah Dutkiewicz Cleveland Tech Consulting, LLC
- 2. Introduction Microsoft MVP – Developer Technologies (2009-2020, 11 years) Over 20 years in tech, including developer roles and IT admin roles BS, Computer Science & Engineering Technology
- 3. Agenda What is Azure DevOps? Why should Developers Care? Quick Intro to Source Control Look into Azure DevOps features SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) More In-Depth Look at a Project
- 4. What is this about?
- 5. Formerly Known As… Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) Team Foundation Server (TFS)
- 6. High Level Overview Allows continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) through automation using pipelines Can break projects into epics, features, backlog items, tasks, bugs, and other manageable chunks Can track work against the chunks Can store versions of code using Git
- 7. Benefits for Developers Track coding against work items – explains value to the client Schema comparison – easy generation of incremental change scripts for database work… in source control! Code review and change tracking through source control Automate deployment processes
- 10. Basic Terms Repository – collection of related code stored together Branch - line of development Clone – make a copy of the repository Pull – get the changes from the server Push – send your changes to the server Commit – capture this set of code changing
- 11. Repository Sample Repository Folders structured by schema Includes database objects Includes TSQL, C#, YAML, and more!
- 12. Branches
- 13. Additional Branches Feature Branches – currently in development, typically running on local machines Release Branches – waiting to be deployed to production Hotfix Branches – for when things go wrong in production and they need fixed
- 14. Initial Flow 1. Create the repository 2. Clone it locally 3. Write code in the cloned folder 4. Add the changes to the staged changeset 5. Commit the changes 6. Push the changes
- 15. Flow Going Foward 1. Pull latest changes 2. Make more changes 3. Stage the changes 4. Commit the changes 5. Push the changes
- 16. Pull Requests Bring the code from one branch into another branch If you can’t push directly to a branch, a pull request is needed. Can be set for approvals, relying on code to build, relying on code to be tested, various other gates
- 17. Sample Pull Request Requirements Configurable by DevOps admin Example x # of reviewers Linked work items Comments resolved Successful build Code coverage check
- 18. Features of Azure DevOps
- 20. Overview Section Dashboards of overall project views Includes a Wiki
- 21. Boards Work Items Boards Backlogs Sprints Queries Plans Activity Feed Calendar Product Vision Estimate
- 22. Work Item Process - Agile Allows backlogs Allows bugs to have tasks Image taken from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/boards/work-items/guidance/choose-process?view=azure-devops
- 23. Work Item Process - Scrum Similar to Agile User Story vs Product Backlog Item Issue vs Impediment Image taken from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/boards/work-items/guidance/choose-process?view=azure-devops
- 24. Work Item Process - CMMI Capability Maturity Model Integration More formal processes and change management Image taken from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/boards/work-items/guidance/choose-process?view=azure-devops
- 25. Work Items
- 27. Commits
- 28. Sample Commit
- 30. Builds vs Releases Builds Compile the code Build the DACPACs, change scripts, etc. Releases Deploy the code Update databases with DACPACs, change scripts, etc. Can trigger releases based off of builds
- 31. Deployment Groups Seen with Release pipelines Used for deploying to particular resources Can be used for deploying to Azure or to local resources
- 33. Artifacts Custom Nuget packages Can store different “views” Dev branch would commonly be on a Prerelease View Master branch would commonly refer to libraries on a Release View
- 34. SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT)
- 35. SSDT Versions Visual Studio 2019 Database Projects - Data Storage and Processing workload AS, IS, RS – extensions Visual Studio 2017 Database Projects - Data Storage and Processing workload AS, IS, RS – SSDT 2017 download SSDT Standalone Still available, but recommended to use Visual Studio
- 36. Database Project Example: AdventureWorks2017 Includes: Tables Views Stored Procedures Triggers … and more
- 38. Ways to Start a Database Project From scratch Import from database connection Import from script Import from DACPAC
- 39. Starting Source of Truth Which to start with? Typically, Production – what does the world know today? Can build change scripts or migrations to go from prod to dev Schema compare can help with that too
- 40. Tooling Used Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition SQL Server 2017 Developer Edition Azure DevOps Note that there are both Cloud and Server SKUs available
- 41. Demo
- 42. AdventureWorks Demo Plan Starting with base solution Adding more data to the Person table Explore a use case not thought of Alter table Alter data for the use case
- 43. Once scripted in a Database project, let the code be the source of truth.
- 44. Final Words of Advice
- 45. Build often.
- 46. If multiple people on the project, schema compare often.
- 47. Generate Script gives you more control of what’s being run.
- 48. Resources
