Development Operations - Process
DevOps
(Development and Operations)
A way of working that brings software development and day-to-day running together
What's it for?
Helps the people who build software and the people who run it work together so changes are easier to release and support.
For example…
Developers and ops share the same pipeline: code merges trigger tests, deploy to staging, and page the same team if production wobbles
Under DevOps, developers and operations share responsibility for a service, automate releases and use production feedback to improve it.
Think of it like…
Chefs and front-of-house sharing one service plan so food leaves the kitchen and reaches tables without a blame wall
