Interview in Techzine with Kellyn
Dec 16, 2025
WOW! Kellyn Gorman and I got interviewed at the Redgate Software Summit.
And today it went live: Techzine just published it. 😄
The gist
Data isn’t neatly “in the database” anymore — it’s spread across services, platforms, and pipelines. That’s powerful, but it also means governance gets complicated fast.
Observability is no longer a nice-to-have either. If you care about security, you need to understand who can reach what, through which access paths, and when that changes.
And no, the DBA role isn’t dying. It’s evolving — expanding into reliability, security, enablement, and automation.
Finally: fewer late-night incidents, more calm delivery. Automation + pull request reviews beat firefighting every day — especially in a world where ORMs move fast and changes ship constantly.
