Low Growth DevOps

DevOps is no longer a fast growing mindset and set tools. Some surveys show that 70% of people are still not automating their builds, let alone production deployment. DevOps companies are facing growth challenges. Is this bad? Good? Expected? This talk looks at the DevOps stall and what it means.

We’re in an era of low-growth DevOps. Recent surveys find that anywhere between 50% to 70% of respondents are not automating their builds and tests, let alone deployments to production. Survey respondents also say that only around 35% of their apps are managed with a DevOps mindset. Meanwhile, first and second generation DevOps companies are tinkering with OSS licenses or merging into mega-tech companies. The business of DevOps is not what it used to be. Is this good? Is this bad? Is this expected? Is it helpful? How did platform engineering sneak into our party and drink all the cold beer? In this talk, Coté will give an analysis of DevOps usage and DevOps businesses 15 years later. So much has improved, and there’s more improvement to come. Hopefully.
