DevOps

Increased Agility

Being agile is one of the most valuable characteristics modern businesses need to work towards. The global health crisis has highlighted the importance of the ability to quickly pivot and react to changing market demand and supply.

DevOps introduces various mechanics, best practices, and technologies that help decouple workflows and processes, leading to greater independence. At the same, it introduces the right platforms that synergize the development team with the operations team - meaning your teams will work together, instead of against each other.

Reduced Time-To-Market

With DevOps not only are you able to quickly shift resources and manpower to cope up with changing demand and traffic, but you're also fulfilling the shifted demand with the help of an IT infrastructure that works more like an assembly line and reduces the time it takes for code to go from testing to production.

Implementing DevOps optimally reduces the time it takes to deploy software updates and patches by up to 208 times.

Easier Remote Development

Your business requires a robust and frequently updated infrastructure to create and maintain your competitive edge. To do this, you need a workforce that can work from anywhere. In other words, modern businesses need to enable and embrace remote development.

A flexible workforce is the future and DevOps brings the right tools and technologies to make it easier.

With DevOps, developers, engineers, and administrators can work together in an infrastructure architected for more effective collaboration with tools such as CI/CD pipelines, loosely-coupled services, automation, and more.

Greater Success Rate

DevOps significantly increases the frequency of code deployments - but it does so, without increasing the number of failures. It achieves quite the opposite.

With an optimal implementation of DevOps and solutions like canary deployments and limited rollouts, companies can expect a 7x lower change failure rate.

Another major improvement introduced to your overall IT system is increased resilience. DevOps focuses on improving your infrastructure's ability to fend off attacks and system failures. On the off chance, a major bug does make it out of the CI/CD pipeline, the loosely coupled the architecture ensures its impact is isolated.

Quick Incident Recovery

Our goal with DevOps is to mitigate the risks of failures but as of right now, it is impossible to eliminate the possibility of an unfavorable incident.

That's why along with taking every step possible to ensure all changes and updates go out without a hitch. But when incidents do occur, the DevOps mechanics and failsafe options ensure the problems are resolved almost instantaneously.

Companies with optimal implementation of DevOps tools and solutions are 2,604 times faster at recovering from incidents than those who are not utilizing DevOps.

Improved Security

An entire subfield of DevOps, DevSecOps is dedicated to introducing better security measures to your IT infrastructure. A range of debugging and monitoring tools along with comprehensive automated testing significantly reduces security concerns and vulnerabilities in code.

As a result, companies with high-performing DevOps implementations spend 50% less time resolving security issues than those who are not utilizing DevOps correctly.
