DevOps
DevOps is a set of practices, cultural philosophies, and tools that combines software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops) to shorten the systems development life cycle and provide continuous delivery with high software quality. It emphasizes collaboration, automation, monitoring, and integration between development and operations teams to enable faster and more reliable software releases.
Developers should learn DevOps to improve deployment frequency, reduce lead time for changes, and lower failure rates in production, making it essential for modern software delivery. It is particularly valuable in cloud-native, microservices, and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) environments where rapid iteration and reliability are critical.
