Garry Bargsley has gone through twelve days of the dbatools module’s functionality:
The final day is upon us and I have saved the best for last and one you can take in to the holiday season as a present from our fearless leader of dbatools. The Start-DbaMigration is where the dbatools module started years ago. Who of us have not said “I really should automate this tedious SQL migration stuff” so I do not forget a step when I have not had enough coffee. Well Chrissy LeMaire (b | t) not only said it, but made it reality. This early work has grown in to the dbatools module that we know today and has grown in to a multi-tool toolkit that help the DBA expand their skills without having the burden of learning a scripting language and the complexity that goes with hooking it to your SQL Server.
This tool has literally changed my life since finding it a couple years ago. Not only am I doing work in PowerShell, I am automating work processes. Also, this has contributed to my personal growth. Chrissy and team has such a welcoming atmosphere and inclusion around the project, it has guided me to contribute to an open source project as well as guided me to presenting at SQL Saturdays events.
