The financial services sector is outperforming other industries, both in its adoption of database DevOps, and its use of monitoring to track database performance and deployments, a newly released edition of Redgate's 2020 State of Database Monitoring Report has revealed.

The report shows that 61% of those in financial services deploy database changes once a week or more, compared to 43% across other sectors, and 52% deploy multiple times per day or week, up from 35% in other sectors.

These results have likely contributed to the 66% of companies in financial services reporting that they use a paid-for monitoring tool, compared to only 39% of respondents across other sectors.

39 percent of those in financial services already host some or all of their databases in the cloud, and the report shows that migrating to and integrating with the cloud is the biggest challenge facing the sector in the next 12 months.

"Sectors like financial services - and Healthcare and IT - have recognized they need customizable alerts for the operational and performance issues they face, and every deployment displayed on a timeline alongside key SQL Server metrics. That way, when a bad deployment occurs, they can dive into the details, investigate the cause and remedy it immediately. If you can't do that, frankly, you'll have a hard time doing DevOps."
