This team specializes in developing the CI/CD automation framework. Their aim is to enable application and data teams across the organization to independently manage and deploy their database changes. The setup and onboarding processes should be thoroughly documented and seamlessly integrated with existing application delivery workflows.

The ideal implementation team should consist of a development or data team and a lead developer (or data lead). The project scope and requirements should consider the applications, databases, and environments utilized by this team. Additionally, considerations for scalability and future rollouts should include other teams, applications, and database types.

The scope of the first implementation should encompass the databases the application team (or the data team) utilizes.

 This involves gathering requirements to compile a comprehensive list of databases, environments, and schemas involved.

Identifying all database security requirements is a critical step in the first phase of the implementation. Credentials must be stored in vaults or secured by another mechanism. Personal Identifiable Information (PII), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and other data protection standards must be followed. Consult with your security team to ensure your implementation plan adheres to all data privacy compliance regulations for your organization.
