Shift-Left: A DevOps and Database Story
summary
Argues that performance testing must be shifted left by embedding SolarWinds SQL Sentry and Plan Explorer into a CI pipeline (Visual Studio/TFS) so deployments carry markers, metrics and execution plans. Demo shows OS vs SQL metrics, missing index warnings and ~200,000 key lookups after a deploy, lets the pipeline quality gate reject the change, then a rewritten query or added included index fixes reads and removes the regression.
