I had the pleasure of working with @AlexFatkulin on several projects, and was impressed by his intelligence, ability to get things done, and to explain complex concepts; I recall him teaching me #GoldenGate from scratch in 2 days. You'll be missed Alex!

Four KPIs for a DevOps transformation: change-to-deployment latency, deployment frequency, failed change rate, and mean time to resolution of these failed changes https://t.co/EWNDuJFZM4 @VladoBarun @RMOUG_ORG #td18
