Five ways to accelerate your DevOps journey

The global DevOps market is expected to grow from $10.4 billion in 2023 to $25.5 billion by 2028, driven by the rising adoption of cloud-native technologies like Kubernetes, Docker and serverless computing. These technologies enable organisations to develop, deploy and manage applications more efficiently. Automation and artificial intelligence (AI) are also playing an increasingly vital role in DevOps. 

Does Platform Engineering Make DevOps & DevSecOps Irrelevant?

The DevOps movement came onto the scene somewhere around 2007/2008. Its proponents railed against the traditional software model at the time, which called for the developers who wrote the code to be organizationally and functionally separate from those who deployed and supported the code. The reasoning behind the movement is that these siloed teams, concerned only with their own objectives, resulted in botched releases, significant delays, poor communication and, ultimately, unhappy customers. It took a few years to gain traction, but when Gartner got on board with the concept in 2011, adoption soared, and Agile development practices like automated build and test and continuous integration and delivery became the new norm.

Be Wary of Bias: Avoiding Data Bias in Artificial Intelligence

Shortcomings in artificial intelligence (AI) technology are rising to the forefront with growing attention on a slew of AI topics like ChatGPT and deep fakes. As everything continues to move digital, many are looking to bring these tools into their everyday lives.

Data bias - the hidden risk of AI and how to address it

Artificial intelligence is generally only as good as the data that it's trained on. However, when data is collected and used in the training of machine learning models, the models inherit the bias of the people building them, producing unexpected and potentially harmful outcomes.
