The great equaliser; your most precious resource
Even in the most competitive space, from newcomers to market leaders, we all only have 1,440 minutes in a day, and how you use them is the difference between wild success and abject failure. Many companies will routinely do annual cost-reduction exercises, but the bigger cost is operational efficiency.
DevOps is the child of Lean and Agile methodologies, for manufacturing and development respectively, with a focus on velocity, automation and continued evaluation of tools and processes to find the most efficient path forwards in all instances.
This can include automated testing during code integration, fault detection, integrity testing, unit testing and CI/CD pipelines to shorten the gaps between build and deployment. Infrastructure-as-Code is widely implemented; enabling teams to quickly build-and-destroy new environments as they’re needed, removing availability bottlenecks, while containerisation allows applications to be ported seamlessly between those environments.
Elsewhere, auto-scaling and auto-repairing infrastructure means less attention and investment from the teams that own them (‘set and forget’), freeing them up to find new ways of improving efficiency in the platform architecture.
Fixing the present, securing the future
The more of your company’s underlying operations that can be simplified, slimmed down and automated, the fewer bottlenecks you’ll encounter getting from A to B to C. With teams squeezing more useful activity into each working day, and less manual overhead needed, you can scale up productivity without increasing costs or timelines.
With testing, environments and deployment all fully automated, delivery becomes a smooth, fluid end-to-end process. Change requests complete in days rather than weeks, requiring little-to-no manual intervention, creating tighter feedback loops between Marketing, Product and Development teams.
At the other end, automatic monitoring and reporting systems can flag issues up to Development before they’re ever raised by customers, letting them get ahead of faults before they even occur, launching straight into isolating the problem and making the necessary changes for remediation.
The ideal endgame state is ‘Continuous Deployment’ - a perfect infinity-loop of build-test-deploy-feedback-improve with zero manual steps; code changes going live near-instantly and never needing to be rolled back, creating an unparalleled customer experience.
