Why Database DevOps is Critical for Generative AI & ML Success
As organizations race to harness the power of Generative AI and Machine Learning (ML), many hit a surprising roadblock: the database.
While models, APIs, and data pipelines steal the spotlight, the speed and reliability of your database changes can make or break your AI/ML initiatives.
According to the Liquibase State of Database DevOps Report 2025, the landscape is shifting fast — and here’s why Database DevOps is no longer optional for AI-driven enterprises.
🔍 Some Facts
📈 68% of organizations deploy application changes daily or weekly — but only a fraction can say the same for database changes.
🐢 Database change management remains the slowest part of the software delivery process — causing delays in model deployment and real-time experimentation.
💣 Manual DB processes increase the risk of failed releases, especially in fast-paced ML environments where agility and rollback safety are key.
👥 Collaboration between DBAs, developers, and ML teams is weak without DevOps tools — leading to silos, bottlenecks, and inconsistent environments.
🤖 Why It Matters for Gen AI & ML
