What does a high performing technology delivery team look like? How do you know if your team is doing well? While there have been many widely reported and shared surveys on technology delivery team behavior that define the metrics for high performers (Puppet State of DevOps Report 2019, 2019 Accelerate State of DevOps), at CircleCI we are privileged to have the vantage point of being able to review truly massive amounts of data on how technology delivery teams are behaving in the wild. Our cloud continuous integration and continuous delivery platform processes over 1.6 million job runs per day for more than 40,000 organizations and over 150,000 projects. We analyzed the data from 30 million workflows* to see how observed behavior compares to reported industry standards.

Getting new software to your users without interrupting their experience is hard; how do you upgrade an application that’s in active use? And if you do take an application offline for an update, what happens if something goes wrong?

It’s tempting to try to minimize downtime and reduce release risks by implementing extensive manual processes and procedures—but pre-release work that isn’t automated slows down delivery and makes it hard to roll out new features.

The good news is that you can avoid time-consuming manual work while reducing release risks by following DevOps principles to automate the release and deployment process. And as you automate, using advanced deployment patterns can help you speed up the software delivery cycle while maintaining control over the way your applications are deployed.

This white paper gives you insights into the DevOps best practice of advanced deployment patterns: Blue/Green deployments, rolling updates, canary releases, dark launches, and feature toggles. It describes how each pattern works, the advantages and disadvantages of each one, considerations for implementing them, and best practices when applying them.

]]> People in business talk a lot about transformation. But most companies have only a vague understanding of what a successful transformation is, let alone how to accomplish one before nimble, digital disruptors swoop in to steal customers. Defining what to do and how to do it is especially hard for companies that rely heavily on the mainframe—a historically siloed platform encumbered by slow process and outdated, esoteric tools.

DevOps is fast assuming greater importance in deciding the agility of an enterprise. A robust DevOps setup is crucial for successful agile delivery and minimal risks. It greatly optimises release management costs and team productivity, resulting in reduced time to market.

At the same time, DevOps enables organisations to make rapid product releases with increased quality and manage customers’ expectations.

In this paper we explore various aspects of DevOps. We look at key success attributes, main processes, tools, and frameworks that play an elementary role in DevOps.

]]> DevOps helps build, test and release software using a set of practices; automating processes between software development and IT teams. Throughout the years’, this culture shift has promised benefits in the IT space, including trust, faster software releases and the ability to better manage workloads and critical issues. As we all know, DevOps improves collaboration between development (dev) and operation (ops) teams, so it’s important for software testers to have to know-how when implementing this culture shift. This is where we at 31 Media come to lend a helping hand, by hosting The DevOps Focus Groups on the 20 March 2018, Park Inn by Radisson, London, Heathrow.
