ChatOps is an automation model connecting users and tools to processes through messaging apps. It leverages the simplicity and familiarity of chat to empower users to interact directly with apps and databases, retrieving information, and performing work in real-time. Done right, ChatOps is a safe, agile way to minimize or eliminate tedious, repetitive operational tasks and reduce workloads. Virtually anything can be automated or called via ChatOps through simple commands from self-service password resets, to initiating reporting cycles, to running ad hoc refreshes of development environments all without granting end-users access to a database or application. This session will cover connecting Oracle databases in the cloud or on-premises to chat services via REST considerations for building database APIs to handle ChatOps interactions methods for securing communications between the database and application practical examples of ChatOps integrations.

The database administration role as we knew it’s dead. DBAs who have been around for decades have become irrelevant in this data-driven economy.
