Successful DevOps-driven companies looking to expand the scope of their business need to find efficient ways to scale their engineering organization’s productivity over time. Indeed, accelerated business growth often leads to increased communication challenges and, consequently, creates bottlenecks and inefficiencies in the software development and delivery processes.

Technology underlines the way modern businesses bring value to customers, with speed and agility playing a crucial part in staying ahead of the competition. Today, DevOps adoption is ubiquitous. The methodology is widely recognized as an Agile software development best practice. While the DevOps methodology powers technological advancements and business innovation, many enterprises still face challenges when they reach the need to scale and get stuck in the middle of their DevOps journey.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, DevOps adoption entered the mainstream, with enterprises across industries acknowledging that DevOps practices are vital for businesses to remain relevant and get ahead of the competition. Today, the methodology is standard practice at modern technology companies. Yet, while some organizations are successfully leveraging the full capabilities of DevOps practices, others are only beginning their DevOps journey or have been struggling to effectively integrate DevOps into their software development processes for some time.

Every company that seeks to stay relevant in today’s digitalized world needs its software to be market-ready and deliver a great experience—no matter who the end-user is. Software has become an integral part of a company’s ecosystem. It powers almost every aspect of your operations and the customer experience.

Organizations that have successfully implemented DevOps can release new and improved features faster than ever with the frequent deployment of smaller code fragments and multiple simultaneous testing phases. However, to support the development of reliable software at such a high speed requires continuous monitoring across the entire application lifecycle.

The past few years have seen a radical shift in software development and digital adoption that transformed traditional business models. The DevOps methodology substantially evolved since its dawn and continues to expand, incorporating new tools and technologies in response to the ever-changing consumer demands. To stay relevant in today’s brutally competitive business ecosystem, enterprises need DevOps.

The significant influence of DevOps transcends the simple origin story of removing the barriers between developers and operations teams. What became a groundbreaking movement in software development and deployment emerged as the natural result of websites becoming more complex and grew organically as technology and consumer needs evolved.

DevOps has come a long way since breaking barriers between dev and ops. As all businesses strive to be more responsive to customers’ rising expectations and increasing data proliferation, DevOps is reaching mainstream popularity across almost all industries. DevOps fuels business transformation, and more than delivering new features faster, it provides continuous value to customers.

Development teams first implemented an agile approach to software development to accelerate delivery and improve application quality. Agile software development practices are iterative and consist of making smaller and more frequent changes to the base code.

Through continuous integration and continuous delivery, or CI/CD, smaller code fragments are merged regularly into the code base and automatically integrated, tested, and prepared for production deployment.

DevOps is an organizational culture shift founded on collaboration, communication, and shared responsibility between development and operations teams that speeds the delivery of higher quality products or services.

The movement emerged as a response to a prominent need to expedite new software releases while improving development and operations teams’ work and communication. With the two traditionally siloed teams working together toward the same goal, DevOps helped bring value to consumers by reducing the production lifecycle and mean time to resolution.

GitOps is an operational framework that stemmed from DevOps processes. At its core, DevOps represents a set of practices and a cultural shift that brought together development and IT operations teams and enabled faster and more reliable application delivery by automating the development lifecycle.

DevOps grew out of the Agile manifesto formulated in 2001 as a new way of developing software that focused on “individuals and interactions over processes and tools,” “customer collaboration over contract negotiation,” or “responding to change over following a plan.”

When this revolutionary approach to software development was finally implemented in operations, the result was a team where everyone works toward the same goal and communicates without any organizational barriers. DevOps dissolved the inevitable tensions between traditionally siloed teams and instated a new era of collaboration where engineers work side by side to deliver innovative and more reliable new features faster.

“If man is to survive, he will have learned to take a delight in the essential differences between men and between cultures. He will learn that differences in ideas and attitudes are a delight, part of life's exciting variety, not something to fear.”

The COVID-19 crisis has dramatically affected the labor force. Many sectors with high physical proximity shut down; workers deemed essential continued to operate albeit following newly instated and strict health measures. However, the greatest impact (and one that is likely here to stay) of the health pandemic on employees and businesses is the substantial transition to remote work.

The pandemic changed the way the world works. Remote work was gaining adoption pre-COVID but quickly became a necessity rather than a perk. Technical professionals were already a large part of the remote workforce. Now that Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) working remotely is mainstream, how does it impact a DevOps culture? In this post, we’ll talk about the evolution of work and deliver tips for SREs to be productive and remain true to the DevOps framework.

Careers in information technology have long been male-dominated, but the world is changing. Diversity in information technology is becoming a priority, and Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) talent isn’t specific to a gender, color, race, or region. The greater diversity of candidates the industry can attract, the better for the field and the companies that hire SREs. From my perspective, creating opportunities for all in a DevOps culture is the future of the space, and we can all learn from a more varied team dynamic.

Anchoring your digital project development with a DevOps/SRE (Site Reliability Engineer) team provides many advantages over those without such a team. The shift to a DevOps culture and framework brings development and operations together to build, test, and release software faster and more reliably. Through automation and integration of efforts, these teams no longer live in silos and have much more agility. However, there are still many organizations that have yet to adopt a team. What separates these two types of companies? In this post, we’ll answer that question.
