Modern DevOps Practices – Part 1: An Intro 

The landscape of work is shifting. Technology plays a significant role in every organization’s day-to-day operation. Finding ways to leverage technology to support your team and give them the space to work together is essential to your organization’s success. For application developers, modern DevOps practices is one of the best ways to improve and streamline the app dev process.   

What Is Modern DevOps? 

Modern DevOps aims to increase collaboration, communication, and integration between software development teams (Dev) and IT Operations (Ops). It works by combining and automating the work of these two teams. By allowing the Dev and Ops teams to work together more easily, you improve the speed and quality of software delivery.  

What Are Some Modern DevOps Practices? 

There are several Modern DevOps practices, including continuous integration (CI) automated testing and continuous deployment (CD). These related practices increase confidence in the integrity of the application’s source code and the reliability of its functionality as ongoing development of new features and bug fixes takes place. They also allow you to roll out changes more quickly and efficiently. 

Automation is key and remains a hot topic in the business world. Last week we published a blog on the benefits of automating as many of your business operations as you can. You can read more about it here.  

Additionally, Modern DevOps practices take advantage of the flexibility provided by microservice architecture and containerization approaches to decouple the services and modules from the larger monolith application, making them easier to maintain and redeploy. 

You can also integrate your security practices into the DevOps (also known as DevSecOps) pipeline to ensure security is considered at every stage of the software development lifecycle. This includes automated security testing and vulnerability scanning. 

Conclusion 

DevOps unifies people, processes, and technology and helps you bring better products to customers, faster. By adopting DevOps practices and tools, you will better respond to customer needs, increase confidence in the applications they build, and achieve business goals faster.
