WHAT IS DEVOPS

DevOps is an approach to software development aimed at accelerating the processes that lead from concept to deployment in a much more efficient and secure way than any traditional approach through the use of automation and self-service within the development team.

WHY ADOPT DEVOPS

WHAT IS DEVOPS AND HOW TO ADOPT THIS MODEL?

DEVOPS PRACTICES

  • CI/CD

    Continuous Integration (CI) is a software development method where the code base resides in a centralized repository and is regularly modified by developers with automated build and test processes. This allows you to increase the frequency of updates, gain responsiveness in solving bugs and improve the quality of the software.

    Continuous Delivery (CD) is the next step to CI, a software engineering approach that favors production in short cycles, which ensure the ability to reliably release the software at any time.

    Continuous Deployment (CD) is the last step towards the complete automation of development processes, going beyond Continuous Delivery thanks to the automatic release of each change in production once it has passed all the testing phases of the code.
  • Microservices

    Microservices are an architectural style that addresses the development of a single application as a suite of modular services, independent and communicating with each other via API, which can be easily and constantly developed, maintained and scaled individually without compromising the stability of the entire application. This architecture guarantees a high resilience and allows a strong independence of the development team.
  • IaC

    Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a practice according to which DevOps teams deal with the management and provisioning of the technology stack in an automated manner, using software. This approach allows teams to act quickly and at scale on the infrastructure, ensuring horizontal scalability essential for modern applications.

SITE RELIABILITY ENGINEERING (SRE)

The purpose of the SRE approach is to increase the reliability of systems: it is a set of principles, practices and organizational constructs that allows both to make the existing work and to innovate it. This second aspect is fundamental, because one of the objectives of the SRE is not only to keep the promises made about the management of the systems, but also to do so while the services are constantly improved incrementally with new features. Read this article if you need an introduction to SRE to understand what benefits it brings.

HOW DEVOPS WORKS

DevOps (from the English contraction of development, ‘development’, and operations, or ‘putting into production’ or ‘deployment’) is a software development methodology that aims at communication, collaboration and integration between developers and operations staff. DevOps means synergy between corporate culture, practices and tools. It aims to provide maximum agility to an organization to develop applications and services.

This approach allows for the evolution and improvement of products at a faster rate than traditional software development and infrastructure management processes. Facebook, Spotify and Netflix are just some of the giants of the web who have understood the benefits of this methodology. The approach aims to merge the entire application life cycle into a single unit: development, testing, delivery and security, with the advantage that each member of the team acquires global knowledge and not just of their specific domain.

The team always aims to achieve greater efficiency and autonomy, which is why all automation processes are the basis of the DevOps approach. The ability to minimize manual activities has the benefit of reducing errors and waste. For this we use techniques and tools such as Container, Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, Infrastructure as code, Microservices, Build pipeline. In this regard, we have written a post that summarizes the Best DevOps Tools according to our experience.
