In order to make the transition to DevOps, one must embrace transparency, open communication, higher quality, on-time project delivery, and enhanced customer experience. Moreover, new trends and practices and caseless transformation are making DevOps an exciting field now and in the future.
Emerging technologies are flourishing within the field of software development. Technology like DevOps is consistently demonstrating its importance. Everyone has recognized since the beginning that DevOps has unique potential and will transform the development space. DevOps has become recognized as a crucial development methodology amid the pandemic.
According to a 2022 report from Acumen Research and Consulting, “DevOps Market Size, Share, Analysis Report and Region Forecast, 2022 – 2030,” the global DevOps market was valued at US$7,398 million in 2021 and is predicted to grow to US$37,227 million by 2030, with a sizable CAGR of 20% from 2022 to 2030.
Here are the top five DevOps trends to watch out for in 2023 and beyond:
Infrastructure-as-a-Code
One of the key themes in DevOps will be Infrastructure-as-a-Code (IAC). This trend makes it easier to manage and provision infrastructure through automation as opposed to a manual approach.
It is an essential DevOps best practice to apply virtualization testing, continuous monitoring, and version control to the code that governs the administration and development of the infrastructure.
Infrastructure-as-a-Code enables the adoption of DevOps practices and better collaboration between software development and infrastructure teams. When infrastructure is code and integrated into a company’s software lifecycle, stakeholders have a common set of standards and vocabulary that they can refer to. This shared information facilitates team collaboration, which is crucial to DevOps.
Serverless Computing
The concept of serverless computing entails an organization outsourcing infrastructure and infrastructure-related functions to external providers. The way IT companies conduct business could change as a result of serverless computing. With serverless computing, teams can focus more on deployment and development by eliminating the risk and issues associated with pipeline management.
Low Code Application
The total lifecycle of application development is accelerated thanks to DevOps. The advantages of agile and DevOps can be further extended with the help of low-code platforms.
With the help of DevOps, businesses have already opted for low code to create and deploy applications quickly. With no added complexity, low-code application development accelerates the development process, which accounts for the increased productivity of enterprises that switch to low-code platforms.
The ability of low code to unlock agility enables any company to have a competitive advantage in the demanding and quickly evolving software market. The software development life cycle is shortened by low-code DevOps, a combination of IT operations and software development.
GitOps
GitOps is an operational process and a code-based infrastructure. It is an evolving version of DevOps best practices and IAC used for application development. GitOps, a relatively new addition to the DevOps workflow, helps teams in automating and managing infrastructure. Developer teams can manage software deployment and infrastructure using Git pull requests.
Chaos Engineering
Chaos engineering enables DevOps to deal with complexity. Teams can design a robust application to support company operations with the help of its integration into DevOps. Chaos Engineering ranks high on the list of DevOps trends due to its tremendous advantages, including how it can empower businesses to deliver better customer experiences, save maintenance costs, and offer deeper insights into how applications are performing.
No matter what the future holds for IT companies, DevOps will advance and have a big impact on the industry. Businesses and teams are continuously implementing DevOps technology and methodologies. Organizations can quickly go past automation with the help of DevOps and focus on high-quality deliverables.
