Semi-Automated Processes vs Fully Automated Processes
Developers should learn about semi-automated processes when building systems that require scalability and reliability but involve tasks too nuanced for full automation, such as content moderation, data validation, or customer support workflows meets developers should learn and implement fully automated processes to streamline software development, deployment, and maintenance, particularly in devops and ci/cd pipelines. Here's our take.
Semi-Automated Processes
Developers should learn about semi-automated processes when building systems that require scalability and reliability but involve tasks too nuanced for full automation, such as content moderation, data validation, or customer support workflows
Semi-Automated Processes
Nice PickDevelopers should learn about semi-automated processes when building systems that require scalability and reliability but involve tasks too nuanced for full automation, such as content moderation, data validation, or customer support workflows
Pros
- +They are particularly useful in domains like software testing, where automated scripts can run regression tests while humans handle exploratory testing, or in DevOps pipelines for deployment approvals
- +Related to: business-process-automation, robotic-process-automation
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Fully Automated Processes
Developers should learn and implement fully automated processes to streamline software development, deployment, and maintenance, particularly in DevOps and CI/CD pipelines
Pros
- +Use cases include automated testing, continuous integration, infrastructure provisioning, and data processing, which enhance reliability and scalability in production environments
- +Related to: continuous-integration, continuous-deployment
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Semi-Automated Processes if: You want they are particularly useful in domains like software testing, where automated scripts can run regression tests while humans handle exploratory testing, or in devops pipelines for deployment approvals and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Fully Automated Processes if: You prioritize use cases include automated testing, continuous integration, infrastructure provisioning, and data processing, which enhance reliability and scalability in production environments over what Semi-Automated Processes offers.
