The team is me. The team is you, too. We encourage pull requests and development participation There’s also a #dbatools channel on the SQL Server Community Slack if you’d like to discuss the module or just hang out.
Chrissy LeMaire, Creator, SQL Server & PowerShell MVP
Hey, I’m Chrissy, the original creator and current maintainer of dbatools. I’m a Cajun living in Belgium and a SQL Server DBA with over 20
years of experience.
I’ve been a fan of Linux and Open Source since I was first introduced back in the 90’s, right around the time I moved to California to work in tech. I’ve loved SQL Server for nearly as long. And of course, PowerShell, which I’ve worked with since 2005.
Below is a list of awesome people who help make dbatools possible.

Thanks to Data Masterminds
Big ol’ shout out to our friends and team members at Data Masterminds in the Netherlands.
They’ve always been so supportive, from buying stickers and merch for our fans to paying our huge Appveyor $2495/year bill to ensure all of our tests run within a reasonable amount of time. Thank you all so very much 💞
You
dbatools has been tested in a lot of environments, but you may do things differently than we do. Maybe you use indexes and we don’t (kidding ;)). We want dbatools to work for all of us, and would love to hear from you if you find a scenario that is not covered.
As of today, dbatools has over 140 contributors on github and over 1700 users in the Slack channel, many of whom help with module design, coding, Q&A and more. If you’re a PowerShell developer or even if you want to learn, we can guide you; please consider contributing to the project.
