  • β€’ Automation: Eliminate manual, error-prone processes
  • β€’ Continuous Improvement: Learn from failures and successes
  • β€’ Customer Focus: Deliver value faster and more reliably

πŸ’‘ Why DevOps Matters in Today's Digital World

In an era where software drives business success, DevOps has become critical for organizations to remain competitive. Companies practicing DevOps deploy code 200x more frequently, with 2,555x faster lead times and 7x lower change failure rates.
