DevOps

Devops teams most often work in Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) mode - continuous integration, delivery, and deployment. Application programs used in such work must be deployable, modifiable, testable, and monitorable. **Basic (but not always mandatory) stages of development:** 1. code - writing and analyzing code, version control and code merges; 2. build - continuous integration and building; 3. test - continuous testing, giving feedback; 4. package - pre-installation, formation of artifact repository; 5. release - release approval, release automation, change management; 6. configuration - managing infrastructure as a code tool; 7. monitoring - analyzing application performance, tracking UX. **Benefits:** 1. accelerated time to market; 2. reduced number of failed update releases, increased release quality; 3. prompt fixes; 4. prompt recovery (in case of failure of new versions or other system outage).
