DevOps is a collaborative approach that combines development (Dev) and operations (Ops) teams to improve the efficiency and quality of software development and deployment. This methodology emphasizes automation, continuous integration, continuous delivery (CI/CD), and iterative feedback loops. DevOps aims to shorten the development lifecycle, deliver features, fixes, and updates frequently in alignment with business objectives, and enhance the reliability and scalability of applications. By fostering a culture of collaboration and shared responsibility, DevOps helps organizations achieve faster time-to-market, better quality software, and more resilient operational environments.
