Hi Everyone!
Welcome to the third edition of our newsletter! In this newsletter, we recap some of the latest news on Ariga and Atlas for you to review.
Here are some highlights:
Ariel spoke at the DevOpsDays TLV conference and presented Atlas in his talk about “The missing chapter in the CI playbook: database schema management”
We've partnered with Wilco to create a new kind of learning experience for Atlas users, a realistic simulation game in which you learn to solve migration issues.
Our cloud product got a brand new feature that you can use (without signing up) called “Explore”, in which you can create ERD visualizations from your database schemas.
As always, we are constantly publishing more content on the Atlas documentation website and blog, some of which we will share below.
Happy weekend,
Ariel and Rotem

The tension between velocity and stability with evolving schemas
The gap between the maturity of CI in different layers of the stack (code, security, infrastructure vs database)
Adopting patterns to bridge the gap
CI for database schema changes
