Code of Our Lives

  On February 16th, we hosted a webinar about Gitora 5. Many thanks to everyone who attended. The recording of the webinar is below. You can view the slides for the webinar below. You can also download the slides from this link. There were a few questions we received several times during the webinar. We'd like to reiterate our answers below: How does Gitora work with GitLab, GitHub or similar services...? Gitora repos work with these services just like any other local Git repo does. From the point of GitLab, GitHub or similar services, Gitora repos are just local repos that you can push to these services. How can I create a merge/pull request with Gitora? Merge/Pull request is not a Git feature. It is a GitHub/GitLab feature. You can continue creating merge/pull requests on these services using the same workflow you use for any other local repo. To create a merge/pull request for a Gitora repo, first push your repo to GitHub/GitLab using the...

Managing the source code of objects in the Oracle database and moving them between databases has been a problem for many years. DBA's and database developers did not enjoy the benefits of prominent source control software such as Git and have been largely left behind. Gitora is a unique tool that bridges the Oracle database and Git and enables DBA's and database developers to benefit from Git's capabilities in managing database objects. On February 16th we are hosting a webinar to show you how you can use Gitora to manage your database objects. In this webinar we'll cover the following topics: - How to use Git for database object DDL statements - How to use Gitora to move code between databases - How to implement modern development workflows using Gitora - How to use Pluggable Databases for a more productive development environment You can sign up at this link.

We are very excited to announce that Gitora 5 is now available for download. Gitora 5 is a huge step forward for version management of database objects. Gitora 5 has many new features. Below are just six of our favorites: A Brand New User Interface and Application One Gitora Installation to Manage Any Number of Databases Gitora Now Manages Tables No-login development experience A Comprehensive Developer Privileges Management Module Full API To Completely Automate Your Workflow Let’s go over these new features briefly: A Brand New User Interface and Application We redesigned every screen in Gitora from the ground up. The new design gives Gitora 5 a beautiful modern look with large components, easy to read, fresh colors and updated icons.  We also rebuilt the application with Java.

Bryn Llewellyn has run PL/SQL and Edition-Based Redefinition at Oracle for more than a decade and we are incredibly happy to have him as our next speaker! Cloud-native databases are coming out of age. They are open source and high performance. They are built on the shared nothing architecture, have linear write scalibility, low read latency and built-in fault tolerance. And now they are even compatibale with PostgreSQL. Attend the webinar by the Oracle legend Bryn Llewellyn and learn how distributed databases can help you in your daily work.

Apache Kafka is a product that should be in every IT professional's toolbox. Attend the webinar by developer advocate Ricardo Ferreira and learn how to use Kafka in your daily work About the Webinar: The use of distributed streaming platforms is becoming increasingly popular among developers, but have you ever wondered why? Part Pub/Sub messaging system, partly distributed storage, partly CEP-type event processing engine, the usage of this type of technology brings a whole new perspective on how developers capture, store, and process events. This talk will explain what distributed streaming platforms are and how it can be a game changer for modern data architectures. We'll discuss the road in IT that led to the need of this type of platform, the current state of Apache Kafka, as well as scenarios where this technology can be implemented. Sign up for the webinar.
