I find it astounding that "noone has ever thought to deploy a database using DevOps principles".

Especially as a DevOps engineer who watches other DevOps engineer a do it constantly with a multitude of tools on a plethora of platforms across a wide range of databases.

"One of the earliest realizations we made at PlanetScale is that the world of databases had been practically untouched by DevOps practices. The benefits of DevOps are numerous, including faster product delivery and continuous integration, so why wouldn’t we want this for our database?"

We had the exact same thought and build https://bytebase.com, though we approach the problem via tooling instead of the database engine itself. Exciting times.
