DevOps unifies software engineering and IT operations, replacing slow, manual deployments with automated CI/CD pipelines.
Core DevOps Practices:
- Automated CI/CD Pipelines: Code passes automated tests and deploys to staging/production on every Git merge.
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Managing servers, databases, and networks via version-controlled code.
- Zero-Downtime Releases: Blue-green deployments ensuring active users never experience service interruptions.
