What is DevOps?
DevOps is a modern approach that bridges software development and IT operations, promoting collaboration and communication. Key DevOps techniques include continuous integration, continuous delivery, and infrastructure as code. DevOps shifts how organisations create, deliver, and maintain software, integrating all phases from development to deployment under one process. This continuous lifecycle—covering development, integration, testing, deployment, and monitoring—shortens development time, improves software quality, and speeds up responses to feedback and market changes.
More than just tools or job titles, DevOps is a culture that requires a change in mindset. When embraced, it leads to quicker, more reliable software releases, making organisations more competitive.
DevOps Techniques
-
Culture
DevOps changes company culture by integrating development and operations teams.
-
Build & Deploy
CI/CD automates code integration, testing, and production deployment.
-
Automation
Automation improves efficiency and reduces human error in processes.
-
Test & Verification
Automated testing in the build pipeline catches bugs early.
-
Design & Architecture
Infrastructure-as-Code uses scripts to scale infrastructure.
-
Security & Monitoring
Integrate security in the delivery pipeline and monitor for feedback and improvement.
Our DevOps guide provides a detailed roadmap and action plan, helping you implement these techniques effectively and transform your development process.
DevOps Strategies
DevOps streamlines and automates software delivery, enabling quicker release cycles and giving companies a competitive edge. This allows for rapid market adaptation, prompt customer satisfaction, and seizing opportunities sooner. Daily releases create tighter feedback loops between teams, improving response to customer needs.
As new hardware and platforms emerge, the ability to quickly address and implement customer requests for optimisations and new features enhances satisfaction and retention. Additionally, DevOps offers cost-effective strategies through scalable cloud architecture, reduced code rollbacks, faster recovery times, and automation, keeping customer-facing costs in check.
