DevOps

DevOps can be represented and explained as a dedicated team working together to conceive, build and deliver secure software at top speed. DevOps practices enable software developers (devs) and operations (ops) teams to accelerate delivery through automation, collaboration, fast feedback, and iterative improvement. Stemming from an Agile approach to software development, a DevOps delivery process expands on the cross-functional approach of building and shipping applications in a faster and more iterative manner. In adopting a DevOps development process, we are making a decision to improve the flow and value delivery of your application by encouraging a more collaborative environment at all stages of the development cycle.

Continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) embody a culture, set of operating principles, and collection of practices that enable application development teams to deliver code changes more frequently and reliably. The implementation is also known as the CI/CD pipeline. CI/CD is one of the best practices for devops teams to implement. It is also an agile methodology best practice, as it enables software development teams to focus on meeting business requirements, code quality, and security because deployment steps are automated.

DevOps and its complexity has evolved over the last few years. The rise in complexity is due to migration of organizations to microservices architecture. Invences promotes a DevOps culture of accountability, improved collaboration and joint responsibility for business outcomes.
