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.

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.
