“DevOps” is a term that gets tossed around a lot these days. People speak about it as a development philosophy and a practice (and they’re right — it’s both). Despite the widespread popularity of DevOps, however, it's often not used to its full potential.
When DevOps is fully embraced and done right, you start to see improvements. The 2019 State of DevOps Report showcases the following improvements (thanks to the DevOps philosophy and practice):
- More frequent deployment (208x)
- Faster lead time (106x)
- Faster time to restore service (2604x)
- Lower fail rate (7x)*
