DevOps: Supercharge Your Organization 5 Steps to Get Started

DevOps, In traditional practices of programming developing of a software is the key aspect but then presenting it also played a key role now a days.

Presenting in the sense making the software reach end user, steps taken in this following a proper procedure is must.

Here comes the concept of DevOps which means Development Operations.

DevOps is a set of practices that combines software development (Dev) and information-technology operations (Ops) to shorten the development life cycle and provide continuous delivery with high software quality.

It aims to automate the processes between software development and IT teams, and establish a culture of collaboration and communication between these teams to improve the overall speed and efficiency of delivering software.

The key principles of DevOps include:

Automation :

Automation is ruling the world automating repetitive tasks and processes is a part of DevOps to improve efficiency and accuracy.

This will save a lot of time and also will not miss any step which is a must on every version release.

Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD):

Process of building is sometimes a tedious one and it should be done in a perfect way as well such that every feature is properly in sync with the existing version.

Testing of methods, UI testing’s ensure that app is in proper state avoiding any issues, this is crucial because every time complete app test is not possible so automated testing is must for a better software.

Then comes deployment of app to the respective platforms.

And now the combination of building, testing, and deployment of code changes to production should be automated.

Collaboration :

Breaking down the difference between development and team operations this will improve the end user experience as every part of the team is actively involved in app development and operations as well promoting collaboration and communication.

Monitoring and Feedback :

Monitoring the app after release is the key aspect to improve reach of it to wider audience. Informing the issues related to bugs, timely updates proper documentation are a part of it.

Performance and availability of applications in production are also considered. These parameter are taken as feedback to improve processes and the software itself.

Culture :

Fostering a culture of experimentation, learning, and continuous improvement.

DevOps has become a trend and important practice as well in the software industry as organisation’s seek to accelerate their software delivery and improve their ability to respond to changing customer needs.
