The results are in! Our 2024 State of the Database Landscape report is now live. We've included data from every sector and every company size, from developers, DBAs and software delivery professionals to IT leaders, CTOs and CEOs across the world. #DatabaseTrends #IT

Redgate, the Cambridge based end-to-end Database DevOps solution provider, has been celebrating its 25th anniversary with the launch of charitable and community support initiatives, alongside the announcement of a major commercial milestone. Redgate Software reveals that it has reached $100 million in annual recurring revenue, a testament to its commitment to innovation, customer satisfaction and talent development. From a two-person startup founded in 1999, Redgate has grown to a global business providing Database DevOps software solutions for more than 200,000 IT professionals globally. “We could not be celebrating this milestone without the continued support and engagement of our customers and users,” said Jakub Lamik, CEO of Redgate. “Redgate has always aimed to create ingeniously simple software, making our tools intuitive to use while also solving complex customer problems, and we’re incredibly grateful for the confidence and trust our customers place in our solutions. The team of more than 550 Redgaters around the world are proud to be celebrating our 25th anniversary, and we’re committed to many more years of innovation within the database industry.” Twenty-five years is associated with silver and so is Redgate’s heart as it continues to ‘pay it forward.’ Since Redgate was founded, it has been known for supporting the broad data community with educational resources and events. The company is underlining its anniversary with further initiatives to support its community of customers and users, as well as the broader communities it works within. Supporting the company’s commitment to fostering knowledge and skills in the data industry, Redgate is offering ten PASS Summit Futures Scholarship packages to PASS Data Community Summit 2024 in Seattle this November. This initiative, which funds the ticket price, travel and accommodation, aims to provide learning opportunities for students and early years career professionals who are passionate about database development and management and might not otherwise be able to attend. Redgate is giving back to the community by making charitable donations to the Raspberry Pi Foundation – a Cambridge-based charitable body which supports coding education in more than 100 countries worldwide. Partnering with the Raspberry Pi Foundation for this donation will support young people to access its Code Club programme, furthering its mission to teach young people all over the world to code. Supporting charities local to Redgate’s international offices, donations have also been made to the Cambridge Science Centre, British Columbia Schizophrenia Society, Save the Children, World Animal Protection, Cavalier Rescue and Tafel Deutschland.

In 2020, Redgate Software teamed up with the Raspberry Pi Foundation to start an online coding club to provide a creative outlet in the midst of lockdown. When a Redgater’s son missed his regular coding club, it sparked the idea for virtual sessions, leading to the creation of one of Redgate's favorite initiatives: Kids Coding Club.

While 2020 is not a year many of us look back on fondly, it was the year that brought us the giant Redgate advent calendar. In lieu of a Christmas get-together due to covid restrictions, Redgaters received a life-sized calendar of festive goodies to fill their days (and their houses). #Redgate25

Who doesn't enjoy a bit of friendly competition? In 2016 our office became a hub of strength and agility as Redgaters showcased their athletic prowess in aid of Sports Relief. #Redgate25

Happy 25th birthday Redgate Software! You certainly celebrated in style 🎉 #redgatelife #event

Saddle up for a throwback ride to 2014, with our very own Steve Jones. The DBA Team were always on hand to save the day with their expert advice and adventures into database optimization. We love it when a plan comes together. #Redgate25

In preparation for the big 2-5, there's been many a memorable birthday celebration here at Redgate. Cakes have been cut, balloons have been blown, and year after year our Redgaters have been expertly shaped into numerical formations to mark the occasion. Here's to the next 25! #Redgate25

Ever wondered what it’s like to be a DBA… in space? 🚀 In 2011, Redgate’s “DBA in Space” was the ultimate sci-fi comedy quiz extravaganza for database experts. The competition saw DBAs compete in two stages. First, they had to answer 14 fiendish online video questions and provide a tiebreaker of what they'd tweet from space. This whittled the field down to 15 finalists who campaigned to win public votes and impress a judging panel. More than 12,000 votes were cast in the public poll. The grand prize? A shade above the Kármán Line, up into outer space! After a series of video questions and a tiebreaker, the competition’s winner was chosen through a public vote and beat 5,500 other entrants to win DBA in Space. With a choice between a ticket to space or a $100,000 cash prize, the winner chose the cash saying “With money in the bank, I can make a decision when the time's right for me or even my son... to go to space". Because, after all, what DBA worth their salt doesn't have a rock-solid backup strategy in place? #Redgate25

This year we're celebrating our 25th birthday, and to mark the occasion we'll be taking a trip down memory lane and looking back at some of our favorite Redgate Software moments and memories. And what better place to start than with our very first website from the year 2000? #Redgate25
