DevOps
What Is DevOps?
DevOps is a culture and operating model that brings software development and operations closer together to improve delivery speed, stability, automation, and feedback loops.
Why DevOps Matters
DevOps helps organizations:
- reduce handoff friction between teams,
- ship software faster and more safely,
- improve production reliability,
- create shared ownership for delivery outcomes.
What DevOps Looks Like in Practice
DevOps is not a single tool. It usually shows up through a combination of:
- CI/CD automation,
- infrastructure and environment discipline,
- observability and incident response,
- shared metrics across engineering and operations.
A mature DevOps culture focuses on outcomes, not just tooling.
