Redgate Software was founded in 1999 and, in the 20 years since then, has grown from offering a handful of tools to providing a full suite of database development solutions that enable businesses to include the database in DevOps.

Many solutions like SQL Compare and SQL Prompt are regarded as the industry standard and they are now used by over 800,000 people in every type of organization around the world, from small and medium-sized businesses to 91% of companies in the Fortune 100. This has been achieved by investing heavily in making the software intuitive to use even though it solves complex customer problems – something Redgate calls ingeniously simple.

While Redgate has focused mainly on the Microsoft platform, it also offers solutions for Oracle and MySQL. Its acquisition of Flyway, the cross-platform database migration tool, in July 2019 was to extend the advantages of database DevOps to every database.
