Redgate Study 2025: 40% of Developers Fear Database Deployment Failure

Redgate Software's 2025 study reveals a concerning trend in database management. Nearly 40% of developers fear deployment failure due to changes in their study island, with 70% experiencing project delays due to inconsistent management processes.

The study, conducted by Redgate Software, highlights several challenges in management. One major issue is the lack of version control for database objects, making error diagnosis and audits difficult. This is compounded by databases often not being thoroughly tested, increasing the risk of errors.

Unclear responsibilities between development and operations teams exacerbate the problem. This leads to delays and faulty deployments, with manual changes causing errors and unexpected consequences. Rollbacks, when necessary, are complex and can result in data loss and downtime.

The Redgate Study 2025 underscores the need for improved management practices. Better version control, thorough testing, clear responsibilities, and automated processes can help mitigate these issues, ensuring smoother deployments and reduced project delays.
