IDUG Singapore 2026

Join us for a deep dive into the latest innovations shaping the continued evolution of Db2 Cloud Services across leading cloud platforms. This session explores recent advancements in Db2 SaaS, AWS Amazon RDS for Db2, and Db2 as a Service on Microsoft Azure, including our Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) deployment model. BYOC delivers the best of both worlds: the ease and operational simplicity of a fully managed service, combined with the control, security, and native integration advantages of running Db2 directly within your own cloud account. You’ll learn how these offerings enable flexible deployment choices while meeting demanding enterprise requirements. Whether your focus is optimization, regulatory compliance, cloud strategy, availability, or feature adoption, this session will demonstrate how Db2 Cloud Services are designed to adapt to your needs—providing enterprise-grade reliability, scalability, and flexibility.

This session introduces the new Db2 Developer VS Code Extension and provides an update on IBM Db2 Bridge, IBM's data movement and migration solution designed to simplify and accelerate database modernization. We'll cover what Db2 Bridge is, the problems it solves, and where it fits within the broader Db2 portfolio, along with an overview of the VS Code Extension's key features and intended use cases. Built for developers, the VS Code Extension brings Db2 capabilities directly into Visual Studio Code, enabling a more efficient, intuitive, and integrated workflow. The session will also highlight recent enhancements and supported use cases for Db2 Bridge, including how it enables efficient and reliable data and schema movement across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments.

Attendees will learn how these capabilities help developers interact with Db2 more productively using a familiar IDE, while also gaining a forward-looking view of the Db2 Bridge roadmap and how it supports customer migration and adoption journeys.

In this presentation we will discuss the resiliency offerings for DB2 and how they can be combined to provide an Always On architecture.  What are the process changes required, how to I determine what needs to be done and what can I do today. The IBM Always On architecture allows you to run your client facings systems 24 by 7 by 365 with zero downtime.

This session provides awareness of various Db2 LUW corruption scenarios and their potential business impact. It covers common types of corruption such as data, index, page, transaction log, packed descriptor, and memory corruption, along with practical techniques and Db2 tools used for detection and diagnosis. The presentation also highlights key recovery and proactive best practices that Db2 LUW DBAs can use to minimize—or even prevent—outages. Additionally, we will discuss critical issue affecting Db2 on Intel Broadwell V4 chipsets etc.
