What do tech giants like Amazon, Netflix, and Etsy have in common? They all use DevOps to ensure high-quality products and optimal stability. Now, more and more companies are making the push towards DevOps. DevOps is a tech philosophy and culture that aims to improve collaboration between the software development and IT operations teams. Before DevOps, development and operations often worked in very siloed environments. This greatly affected the process between each department — lengthy backlogs and slower time to market and most importantly, little to help build a trusting and collaborative relationship between development and operations. Thankfully, with the birth of DevOps, teaching teams of all sizes are seeing substantial increases in [productivity](https://www.harrisonclarke.com/devops-sre-recruiting-blog/developer-productivity-and-business-performance) and are finding themselves able to push out higher quality products faster than ever before.
