Course Overview
Systems supporting zero-downtime database migration fail in ways that are obvious afterwards and invisible before. Most outages involving this aspect of technology and systems delivery are triggered by a change somebody considered routine. It establishes a shared vocabulary for this strand of technology and systems delivery so that teams can disagree productively about it. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better zero-downtime database migration is rarely technical. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on the technology and systems delivery discipline are used deliberately. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in the technology and systems delivery capability before they become incidents. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting zero-downtime database migration and under-invest in testing it. Every module pairs a short input on the wider technology and systems delivery agenda with structured practice on the participant's own material. The programme ends where implementation begins, with this part of technology and systems delivery broken into steps someone can start on Monday.

Design backup and recovery for zero-downtime database migration and prove it by restoring.
Verify that improvements to zero-downtime database migration have held six months after they were introduced.
Test zero-downtime database migration under realistic load before it meets real load.
