DevOpskäytännöissä

DevOpskäytännöissä is a Finnish term that translates to "DevOps practices" in English. It refers to the set of principles and techniques that aim to improve collaboration and communication between software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops) teams. The core idea behind DevOps is to shorten the systems development lifecycle and provide continuous delivery with high software quality.

Key DevOps practices include continuous integration (CI), continuous delivery (CD), and continuous deployment. Continuous integration involves developers merging their code changes into a shared repository frequently, after which automated builds and tests are run. Continuous delivery automates the release of software so that code can be deployed to production safely and quickly at any time. Continuous deployment goes a step further by automatically deploying every change that passes all stages of the production pipeline.

Beyond these core practices, DevOps also emphasizes automation of infrastructure, monitoring and logging, and feedback loops. Automation reduces manual effort and the risk of human error. Comprehensive monitoring provides insights into application performance and system health, allowing for proactive issue resolution. Feedback loops, facilitated by communication and shared tools, ensure that lessons learned from operations are fed back into the development process, leading to continuous improvement. The ultimate goal is to deliver value to end-users faster and more reliably.
