Every so often, something big comes along that not only dominates the conversation, it changes the entire industry as we know it. Today, the “something big” is DevOps.

At its core, DevOps is a set of practices that automate software development processes in order to build, test, release, and manage workloads faster and more reliably. Historically, development and operations teams have worked separately in their own silos to build and run a software project. By combining the two into one cohesive team, things generally flow smoother and releases occur more frequently.

At MentorMate, we break DevOps into five main areas:

• Automation
• Cloud-Native
• Culture
• Security
• Observability
