The rising demand for tech solutions has enabled digital technology companies to automate their processes, making tech services a very competitive space. However, application modernization and infrastructure have never been easy. Besides many efforts to create stable and secure software, the development teams cannot match the speed and agility needed across client projects. This is where DevOps comes in.
DevOps is not a programming language, software or a course one can learn. It is an ideology, a philosophy that combines development (“dev”) and operations (“ops”).This amalgamation results in accelerated delivery of applications and services that deploy products and solutions, adapting to the changing, modern market than typical traditional software development processes.
Here’s how the IT service providers can leverage DevOps to align to their customer business demands and requirements:
Better Collaboration And Communication
Traditionally, the teams were structured to work on different elements of the project. None of these teams ran into each other’s roles, and there was no collaboration. You can use DevOps to solve this problem by bringing cross-functional teams together, resulting in comprehensive feedback.
Faster Go-To-Market
You can use DevOps to eliminate any procedural friction from the software development process and make the SDLC (software development cycle) more streamlined and faster. It ensures continuity in the development, testing, integration, deployment and monitoring processes.
Automation And Improved Work Quality
Employing automation reduces human intervention and frees up workers from monotonous, repetitive tasks. This removes possibilities of human errors, shifting their focus to other valuable work at hand, thus advancing the quality of the products.
Enhanced Software Reliability
Along with continuous feedback and automated testing, DevOps results in more foolproof and frequent releases, intensifying the software’s reliability.
Conclusion
Bridging the gap between the development and operations teams together enhances cross-functional people-to-people connections throughout the workplace. Leveraging the DevOps philosophy allows businesses to solve more significant technical problems and be more responsive in the marketplace. Amid rising tech expectations, modernization of systems and a continuous cycle of improvement enable technology companies to develop and deploy faster.
