DevOps Toolchain

Tools that streamline software development

Overview

DevOps practices use aspects of Agile and other methodologies that have shaped software development for years. To meet the need for speed in software development, DevOps brings a seismic shift, stressing the importance of collaboration between development (Dev) and operations (Ops) teams.

The DevOps toolchain covers various platforms that support the software development life cycle, augmenting developer workflows to 1) plan for and analyze project requirements; 2) support application development and writing code; 3) test and debug; and 4) deploy and monitor software applications. These, in turn, help software developers work efficiently, reduce errors in the code, and ultimately improve the quality of the final product.

Overview

What is DevOps?

DevOps is a software development methodology that involves collaboration between development (Dev) and operations (Ops) teams via frequent releases, with incremental code updates throughout the development life cycle. It allows companies to promptly identify and rectify failed deployments and to swiftly introduce new features to customers, minimizing the risks associated with deployments. 
There has typically been a lack of communication and collaboration between software development and operations teams. The development team would write code, followed by validation by the testing team. The code was then sent to the operations team for deployment. Developers usually worked in a controlled environment, enabling them to address bugs and refine requirements without compromising system stability. 
However, difficulties arise when deploying the code into the live production environment due to discrepancies between the developer environment and the dynamic production environment. These disparities result in significant setbacks and amplify the divide between development and operations teams.

How is DevOps different from other software development approaches?

Before DevOps came into play, the Waterfall and Agile methods were two common software development approaches. Waterfall followed a sequential and rigid process, characterized by lengthy development cycles and limited customer involvement until the final stage. In contrast, Agile prioritized iterative development, close collaboration, and frequent customer feedback, resulting in quicker time to market and improved risk management.
