DevOps & Way of Work

DevOps is a culture and practice that combines software development (development/Dev) and IT operations (operations/Ops) to improve collaboration and automation of software development processes and stable operations. The goal is to deliver software faster, more reliably and with higher quality.

DevOps typically includes continuous integration, continuous delivery, automation of tests and deployments, and monitoring and feedback. It promotes an agile way of working that creates the most efficient development possible.

DevOps gives your business the tools and methods to improve time-to-market while minimising risk and reducing costs. A well-defined way of working helps manage risk in an organisation where change is inevitable.

If your business needs to make frequent changes to the tools that support the business, DevOps is an essential part of your daily practice, whether your developers are internal or external.

In software development and configuration, DevOps is necessary as it integrates essential phases such as strategy, coding, testing, release, deploy, operations and monitoring. Even if you do not have in-house developers, you can still play a role in planning, testing and quality assurance or release management. This ensures continuous release and optimisation of working methods and support systems.

To achieve transparency in the system landscape, one solution is to integrate components such as Datadog for monitoring. This makes it possible to understand and resolve any issues or errors quickly.

For organisations with frequent changes in development and operational processes, or facing demands that require new technical solutions, it makes sense to take a close look at working methods and DevOps. The same applies if you both develop and operate software with multiple employees or external developers involved in continuous changes.
