About a decade ago, the software engineering industry reinvented itself with the development and codification of so-called devops practices. Devops, a compound of “development” and “operations,” refers to a set of core practices and processes that aim to decrease time to market by thoughtfully orchestrating the tight integration between software developers and IT operations, emphasizing reuse, monitoring, and automation.
In the years since its introduction, devops has taken the enterprise software community by storm garnering respect and almost-religious-like reverence from practitioners and devotees.
