DevOps practices bridge development and operations, enabling faster deployment and more reliable systems. This cultural and technical approach emphasizes collaboration, automation, and continuous improvement.
Continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) automate testing and deployment processes. Code changes merge frequently and deploy automatically after passing tests, reducing manual errors and deployment friction.
Infrastructure as code treats server configuration like software. Tools like Terraform and Ansible make infrastructure reproducible, version-controlled, and easy to manage at scale.
