DevOps promises faster, better software delivery cycles, but engineering leaders should consider if it’s the right approach for them and their organization.
Over the past decade, DevOps has emerged as an overarching philosophy and set of development practices that have transformed how software is written and deployed.
In companies that implement DevOps, the silos that once separated development and operations teams have now been broken down. The once monolithic “big bang” software releases have been replaced by small, regular releases to the existing codebase that can be safely rolled out whenever they’re ready. While not every organization has made this shift, it has become a hugely popular way to build and run software.
