Almost ten years back Patrick Debois an IT consultant from Belgium coined the term ‘DevOps’. It started as an attempt to implement the idea for lean thinking to bridge the gap among two teams in software production, development and operations. That is how DevOps came into existence, it is a practice that ensures coordination between two teams in silos. With DevOps in practice, there is more testing and more deliveries. The process gets automated and saves production time, reduces time to market and increases the ROI.
DevOps has been around for some time now and the future seems to be quite promising. Companies are streamlining their workflow for better synchronization, scalability, production and faster delivery. Numerous organizations from various sectors such as entertainment, banking, healthcare, insurance and hospitality are adopting this practice for long-term success. Market research done on the DevOps market in 2019 revealed that the DevOps market will reach a value of US$ 10.5 Billion by 2024 (source), recording a CAGR of about 20% during 2019-2024.
