DevOps
DevOps isn’t a tool – it’s a principle: development and operations work together as one.
For developers: freedom from “works on my machine.”
For operations: better collaboration.
For companies: a bridge between speed and stability.
And for us: the foundation of modern, reliable software infrastructure.
What does DevOps mean?
DevOps stands for tight collaboration between Development (Dev) and Operations (Ops). The goal is to:
- deliver software faster and more frequently
- operate it more reliably and predictably
- improve continuously – both technically and organizationally
DevOps is a mindset, not a department – and not a single job role.
Why is DevOps relevant?
Traditionally, Dev and Ops are separate:
- Developers build features
- Ops teams maintain stability and security
This often leads to friction: features don’t get deployed, and problems bounce between teams.
DevOps breaks down this divide through:
- automated processes (CI/CD)
- shared responsibility for code and operations
- transparent communication and feedback loops
DevOps creates systems that are not just built – but truly owned.
What’s part of a DevOps approach?
A typical DevOps setup includes:
- Automation of tests, builds, and deployments
- Monitoring and observability
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
- Rollback strategies
- Security processes
- A culture of learning, sharing, and documenting
How we do DevOps at RiKuWe
We build infrastructure that enables DevOps – and we live the approach ourselves:
- Automated CI/CD pipelines
- Structured rollouts with PPO, PO & rollback
- GitOps, IaC, and versioned deployments
- Close collaboration with developers and clients
DevOps isn’t a buzzword.
It’s our standard.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between DevOps and traditional IT roles?
DevOps merges development and operations – no silos, but shared responsibility, automation, and continuous feedback.
Do I need special tools for DevOps?
Not necessarily – mindset and process matter more. That said, CI/CD, monitoring, and IaC are typical components.
Is DevOps only useful for large companies?
No. Smaller teams especially benefit from clear processes, automation, and reduced friction between Dev and Ops.
What’s the key to success with DevOps?
Culture. Without trust, transparency, and communication, tools won’t get you far.
What does DevOps change in daily work?
Faster releases, fewer errors, better teamwork – and an operational setup the team actually owns.
