Pros
- +g
- +Related to: system-migration, code-refactoring
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
DevOps Practices
Developers should learn and use DevOps Practices to streamline workflows, reduce deployment failures, and enhance team collaboration, especially in fast-paced environments like startups, cloud-native applications, or large-scale enterprise systems
Pros
- +Specific use cases include implementing continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines for automated testing and deployment, using infrastructure as code (IaC) for consistent environment provisioning, and adopting monitoring and logging tools for real-time issue detection and resolution in production
- +Related to: continuous-integration, continuous-deployment
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Legacy Practices if: You want g and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use DevOps Practices if: You prioritize specific use cases include implementing continuous integration/continuous deployment (ci/cd) pipelines for automated testing and deployment, using infrastructure as code (iac) for consistent environment provisioning, and adopting monitoring and logging tools for real-time issue detection and resolution in production over what Legacy Practices offers.
