If you’ve been hearing the term DevOps a lot recently but you’re not quite sure what it is or whether it’s relevant to your organization, you’ve come to the right place. We’re here to break down exactly what DevOps is so you can determine whether it would benefit your engineering team and, ultimately, your end users.
We’ll cover this in depth, but for a short introduction, DevOps is an approach to software engineering that brings the domains and skillsets of developers and operators together to facilitate faster, better development infrastructures. It’s essentially an iterative process that enables you to test early and often, and to consider the extended lifecycle and operability of code early on, to identify problems and solve them that much faster. The end goal is to increase both productivity and the quality of the product and the end user experience.
