Key Takeaways

The problems DevOps can help to solve:

  • DevOps can help solve inefficiencies such as the ones resulting from introducing a lot of bugs into the code or when there is a lack of Team Collaboration.

  • DevOps helps to break down the silos.

  • DevOps is a real time saver.

Opportunities that DevOps gives:

  • DevOps provides the opportunity for automation, testing early, and keeping a repeatable and reliable process that will work.

  • DevOps ensures that, at the end of the day, the result is a product that was built in an efficient way.

  • Employees working with DevOps are generally happier and more satisfied with their work, especially when automation makes their tasks easier to achieve and grants them the time to invest in the things that really matter.

  • Applying DevOps infrastructure allows us to scale in a repeatable manner.

  • DevOps is also a way to find what is wrong even before the customer does.

Starting with DevOps is free.

  • Begin with what you have and grow from there. Big changes are rough!

  • The more you work with DevOps, the better you will get at it.
