How to start in DevOps?

Today's world requires that the software development and release of the functionalities to be increasingly agile. The continuous delivery of value is only possible by implementing a culture of DevOps. We can help you create solutions to future-proof and in record time!

What is DevOps?

It is a practice of software engineering that aims at unifying software development (Development) and software operation (Operations), to offer services and software products of high quality and fast.

Advantages of implementing DevOps

• Is achieved by the integration of people through a real team work.
• Internal communication becomes more fluid.
• It manages to detect problems and propose solutions quickly.
• Shorten all the production cycles.

Basic recommendations for beginners in DevOps

Patience

It is advisable to internalize that cannot, and have to change everything from the beginning.

Go from the micro to the macro

We should start by small targets and less ambitious, in order to assess the results and make improvements.

Do not break the current processes of development

The practices of DevOps can be incorporated in parallel to the work being undertaken within the organization.

Avoid silos

The equipment should not be working separately and independently.

Promote the shared responsibility

There is to foster a sense of responsibility to the group to keep the product and build new projects.

Think of the system

It is important to have a global view of everything that happens. The systems are complex and should be viewed globally.

How do you start?

Step 1

Make a general analysis, which includes the model of maturity of the organization, the metrics that you want to measure, the training that should make the team and the scope and limitations of the tools work.

Step 2

Create a work plan where you define the equipment and actions to implement, which can be:

The automation of small projects (soon to be made more sophisticated throughout the process).

The definition of the tests associated with each functionality is implemented.

Step 3

Review the metrics, plan your next project and make feedback on the adoption of these practices and the results obtained.

GeneXus, the best option to do DevOps

GeneXus is the Platform Low-Code development of software that uses Artificial Intelligence to simplify and automate the tasks of creation, evolution, and maintenance of applications and technological systems.

Only with GeneXus, it is possible to build complex solutions (including whole ecosystems as Super Apps), simple, agile and future-proof.

Under the premise of automate everything automatable, GeneXus has a variety of tools that allow you to do DevOps in the cycles of construction, deployment, testing, and checks API, static code, performance, among others.

Automate DevOps is key to accelerate the processes of production, and GeneXus account with the technology and experience to help your business to define the strategies for this update and evolution continued and accelerated.

GeneXus…

• It is easy to learn.
• It is cross-platform and multi-experience (generated application best for Apple iOS, Google Android, and Web, among others, from the same specification).
• It offers security controlled automatically.
• Allows you to work with a single Repository of reference to minimize manual errors, generating an optimal level of traceability that identifies from the installed version to the arrangements and details the changes made and unwanted changes.
• You have the tools needed to automate all the steps in the life cycle of the solutions.
• It facilitates the integration with Azure DevOps, Jenkins, IBM, Amazon, Google, Azure, SAP, Dockers and Kubernetes.

DesignOps

• GeneXus account with the first language for modeling Design Systems (Design System Object) for customices your designs as you want.
• GeneXus also makes it easy to design import external from Sketch and Figma, reducing the friction to get the design to a deployment pixel perfect.
• The new version, GeneXus 18, preinstalled to Unanimo, the Design System that offers experiences consistent across all interfaces and components of a solution.
• Allows packaged and shared with other teams, a module with a whole Design System.

DevSecOps

• GeneXus allows us to model the security, reducing the risk over the cycle.
• SAST: The Security Scanner GeneXus, enables an analysis of static recurrent of modeling to reduce those risks.
• Through the module GeneXus Access Manager (GAM), the unified place where everything related to the security, you'll be able to resolve the issues of authentication and authorization of the application, (the GAM supports any identity provider on the market).
