Lack of Developer Agency in DevOps
Explores how lacking developer control over production, telemetry, and deployments undermines DevOps, leading to fragile automation and failed …
DevOps is a philosophy that unites people, processes, and technology to deliver continuous value, fostering collaboration, automation, and shared accountability.
DevOps is not a methodology, framework, or job title—it is an philosophy or ethos that unites people, processes, and technology to enable continuous value delivery. At its core, DevOps is about eliminating friction between development and operations, fostering collaboration, and embracing automation to achieve high-quality, fast, and reliable software delivery.
DevOps is built on principles that extend beyond tooling or process enforcement:
A DevOps-driven organisation doesn’t ask, “How do we implement DevOps?” Instead, it asks, “How do we deliver value faster and more reliably?” The answer typically involves:
DevOps is not a destination—it’s a continuous journey toward delivering better software, faster, with confidence.
