In an Agile world with constantly changing scenarios and requirements, all of our software needs to adapt quickly, and DevOps tools are crucial for releasing reliable applications. Databases are also applications, and the same principles should be applied to them. If you work with SQL Server, DACPACs are your Swiss Army knife for DevOps. They allow you to put your databases under version control, speed up development with schema comparison, and simplify and automate deployments, even in the cloud. No more altering, updating, inserting, or deleting directly in production with SSMS.
