DevOps is critical to successful software development
DevOps solutions are a set of practices that synergize software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops) to improve software quality, provide continuous development, and shorten the software development lifecycle.
-
DevOps improves collaboration.
Effective DevOps merges your development and operations teams into a cohesive unit that collaborates and shares feedback throughout the entire application lifecycle.
-
DevOps leverages automation.
DevOps practices maximize automation throughout the software development lifecycle, giving developers increased time to improve features.
Automation is a critical element of a continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline. Benefits include improved efficiency and reduced errors, allowing teams to achieve continuous improvement by quickly responding to user feedback.
-
DevOps enables continuous improvement.
Continuous improvement helps teams improve software performance while minimizing waste, lowering costs, increasing speeds, and optimizing delivery. Continuous improvement is additionally linked to continuous delivery, enabling teams to push updates to users that deliver increased business value.
-
DevOps focuses on customers.
Satisfied users are central to your success. To drive customer engagement, DevOps teams leverage short feedback loops that help them optimize applications and better serve users.
