What is the
DevOps pipeline?

According to Tom Hall at Atlassian, A DevOps pipeline is a set
of automated processes and tools that allows both
developers and operations professionals to work cohesively
to build and deploy code to a production environment. While
a DevOps pipeline can differ by organization, it typically
includes build automation/continuous integration,
automation testing, validation, and reporting. It may also
include one or more manual gates that require human
intervention before code is allowed to proceed.

Components of a
DevOps pipeline

Continuous integration: Continuous delivery/deployment

Practice of continuously integrating Continuous delivery ensures that the
modified/changed codebase into existing application code is always in a stable and ready-
code base by monitoring any conflicts to-release state. Deployment refers to
between different developers’ code changes. deploying the latest version of the application

DevOps trends will continue to transform the landscape of application
development. However, to successfully execute the DevOps initiative, companies
should start from where they currently are. Whatever barrier they face, these
barriers should be seen as opportunities to evolve, improve, and remain flexible
to demanding business needs. DevOps is a mindset not a technology.
