In the initial days of the software development industry, developers and companies took a lot of time to deliver quality products as there used to be many errors and back and forth between development and operational teams.
Thanks to the continuous innovation of the latest technologies and methodologies, today, we have processes in place that speed up the software development process. One such methodology is DevOps. With DevOps, companies can now save a lot of time in development, collaboration, and releases.
During our discussions with potential clients, we often see they want to know how accessing DevOps will help their projects. As there are many ways DevOps accelerates software delivery, we decided to write a blog post discussing eight key ways DevOps has transformed the software development industry.
So, let’s get started without any further delay!
There are many ways DevOps help you speed up the process of software delivery while improving the collaboration between teams and improving the quality of software. Below, we have mentioned 8 ways in which DevOps can help you accelerate software development and delivery.
One of the key fundamentals of DevOps is automation. DevOps tools enable software development companies to automate various stages of software development, like building, testing, deployment, and infrastructure provisioning.
The DevOps automation minimizes the chances of manual errors, shortens the deployment cycles, and saves a lot of time and effort so that you can focus more on strategic ideas.
In the DevOps world, Continuous Integration is a practice of regularly merging code changes into a shared repository. With this functionality, organizations can integrate and deploy code changes into smaller batches, reducing the risk of errors while fastening the development cycles.
Moreover, with CI tools, you can ensure the smooth integration of code while detecting code errors early on before they affect the project’s quality and timeline.
Continuous Delivery/Deployment (CD) is a DevOps process that enables companies to deploy and release software through automation. CD tools help software developers make constant updates to their codes at a fixed frequency for every application version that has entered the production stage. With the help of CD tools, it has become possible for companies to release new features and updates in minimum time.
One of the most beautiful things about DevOps is that it breaks down the traditional silos between development, operations, and other departments involved in the software development lifecycle.
DevOps tools promote collaboration and communications among teams, eliminating the barriers to accelerated software development. Imagine developers, operational professionals, testers, and other stakeholders working together from the beginning of the project to get the best results possible while sharing knowledge, insights, and feedback.
DevOps practices like Infrastructure as Code (IaC) allow software developers to manage their infrastructure in a programmable and automated way, leading to faster adaption to changes according to your business requirements. With IaC, organizations can access all the resources that make it possible to have codes in a descriptive and manageable manner to lower human errors, leading to a safe and optimized process.
Moreover, you can run configuration management tools aligning with your existing servers, databases, system resources, and virtual machines. With DevOps tools, it’s now possible for software development companies to scale and manage their resources effectively without any hassles. When you have IaC in place, you can ensure consistency and repeatability while reducing the risk of configuration errors.
With the real-time feedback loop of DevOps methodology, organizations can proactively resolve software and infrastructure issues, helping them improve application performance, reliability, and security according to the user’s needs and preferences.
Moreover, continuous monitoring helps businesses optimize resource usage to accelerate software delivery. By leveraging DevOps monitoring tools like Prometheus and Grafana, developers can get real-time insights related to system metrics, application logs, and user behavior.
Another major benefit the software development industry has seen with DevOps is effective builds supported by seamless collaboration between the development and operations teams. As all the teams involved in the software development process work together towards the same goal, getting better builds and deployment of products becomes faster and more efficient.
Last but not least, the version control feature of DevOps has contributed a lot to how today’s software development industry works. With version controls, developers can look at the previous versions of the code and track the changes that have been made.
The main purpose of version control is to analyze and recover the code that requires revisions while enabling developers to work on the same file in collaboration.
When you leverage DevOps to its fullest, you definitely get better results for your project. Ensure you have all the required resources and tools to execute DevOps strategies to maximize the output of your efforts.
Look at Wundercare, a cloud-based childcare platform that thrived with DevOps, where DevOps strategies ensured seamless collaboration between the development team and childcare centers, resulting in a tailored and efficient solution.
