DevOps
DevOps is a set of practices that combines software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops). The goal is to shorten the development lifecycle while delivering features, fixes, and updates reliably and frequently.
Core Principles
- Continuous Integration (CI) — developers merge code frequently; automated tests run on every change
- Continuous Delivery (CD) — code that passes CI is automatically deployable to production
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC) — servers and environments are defined in version-controlled configuration files
- Monitoring & Feedback — systems are observed in production so issues are caught early
