What changed in 2014 ?

Data base as a Service

Lean

NoSql

Do you even [ Agile | DevOps | Cloud | Docker | you name it ]

bruh?

The DevOps movement

is, intentionally, about

getting rid of the DBA.

The technology coming

out is helping us to

eliminate Ops jobs and

that is how DevOps is

supposed to work.

No such things as a DevOps DBA http://www.scarydba.com/

We’re just going to put

all the power into the

hands of developers and

we won’t need

operations people,

especially DBAs, any

more.

NoSql, Hadoop, Big Data, Open Source

Gartner analyst Nick Heudecker 2014

“DBAs simply aren’t a part of the NoSQL conversation. This means DBAs, intentionally or not, are being eliminated from a rapidly growing area of information management.”

http://blogs.gartner.com/nick-heudecker/nosql-shouldnt-mean-nodba/

“[…] cutting out the primary data stewards will result in long-term data quality and information governance challenges for the larger enterprise”

In conversations w clients, we repeatedly find that Hadoop and Spark are overlapping extensions of, not replacements for, existing function.

The definition of the data

warehouse is expanding. The

term data warehouse does

not mean "relational,

integrated repository.“

Gartner. Magic Quadrant for Data Warehouse and Data Management Solutions for Analytics

MIT's Michael

Stonebraker received

the 2015 Turing Award,

the Nobel Prize for

computer science

“Data warehouse and Hadoop are going to completely merge.

Hadoop will look like the data warehouse

market”

“NoSQL will look like the SQL market”

“They will move to higher-level languages,

and the only game in town is SQL”

Hard truth: open source coders are not mostly starving artists working for the good of humanity. Someone pays them. And they have an agenda.

Actually, the

money is in the

software

Fourth Generation

Software is not even

differentiating, the

value is the data

Third Generation

The money is not in the

The money is in the

hardware, not the

software

IMHO the DBA has to

Automate

or die

Know how to handle

PetaBytes DBs and

millions events/s

ingestion rates

Adapt to new

ways of

working (lean,

agile, devops)

Or just keep the lights on …

Accept less
