CI/CD Best Practices Are Needed Now More Than Ever

When it comes to modern IT, the further an organization falls behind, the harder it becomes for it to ever catch up. For the better part of a decade, organizations have been embracing best DevOps practices that, at their core, revolve around a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) platform.

SDM takes DevOps and CI/CD platforms to the next level. It extends the DevOps feedback loop to encompass the entire product and feature lifecycle, from the identification of a customer or business need, to the development and deployment work, to continuously measuring impact. As more organizations start to fully appreciate the extent to which their business now depends on software, there has been a corresponding rise in the number of stakeholders demanding visibility into DevOps processes in a way that is easy to comprehend.

Organizations with that level of visibility into their software development processes are clearly going to enjoy a considerable strategic advantage at a time when, as Marc Andreesen of Andreesen Horowitz once colorfully noted, software is eating the world.
