For most of today's developers, using Git is akin to breathing, in that you can't live without it. Along with version control, Git's use has even expanded in recent years into the area of GitOps, or managing and versioning configurations through Git.

I have been using databases for a lot longer than I care to admit, and a lot of that time has been spent looking at the entrails of servers, trying to determine exactly what they were doing. Thank goodness for the engineers behind the MySQL Performance Schema and Information Schema and their efforts to provide solid information.
