Summary

DevOps is a cultural shift that emphasizes collaboration between development and operations teams, enabling faster delivery of software through Agile methodologies and Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) practices. This approach involves smaller, more frequent releases with the understanding that they may not be perfect and may require updates. Feature management platforms have emerged to support DevOps workflows by providing control points and safety valves during the release process. These platforms allow teams to separate code deployment from feature release, enabling greater control over user experiences and faster feedback loops. By empowering cross-functional collaboration, DevOps helps organizations innovate faster and deliver higher value to businesses and customers.
