I was glad to read yesterday that Red Gate has announced a full focus on “Database Lifecycle Management.”
Before I joined Automattic, I worked at Red Gate for a good few years and in the last couple of years I was there the company experimented a lot with different business models and products in the face of emergent technologies like big data, XaaS, and non-MS-database environments.
For a while Red Gate seemed to be unsure of where to head but I think now they’ve hit the nail right on the head. Database Lifecycle Management (or DLM) speaks right to their core competency and strengths and I think they’ll do great things in that space.
