State of DevOps Report 2024

Take the 2024 State of DevOps Survey

By Blog, Staff

We’re excited to announce we’re partnering with Puppet again to bring you the 2024 State of DevOps Survey for the upcoming State of DevOps Report! This time, we want to know how platform teams find success with tooling, practices, and values that help them deliver on business objectives at scale.

The 2023 Platform Engineering Edition has helped thousands of people better understand this growing space, and we’re eager to dig even deeper. To make it happen, we need to hear from people like you!

Here’s what you need to know about the 2024 State of DevOps Survey:

⏲️ The survey will take about 15 minutes to complete. It’s mostly multiple choice, and we won’t use or attribute any individually identifiable responses without your explicit permission.

🤔 The survey asks about your platform team, tooling, culture, best practices, blockers, and how platform engineering is already impacting the way you create software and infrastructure. We’ll also ask for your opinion on the future of your platform.

💵 For each completed survey, Puppet will donate $5 USD to a nonprofit in need. You’ll get to choose whether your contribution goes to World Central Kitchen or Feeding America.

Puppet’s State of DevOps Report doesn’t just follow what everyone else is doing. It’s an award-winning industry report because it identifies important new trends and uncovers the truth behind them that others aren’t considering. We’re excited to get the chance to lead the DevOps movement again with your help!

Ericsson User Story

New User Story: Developing Complete End-to-End CI/CD Pipelines at Ericsson

By Blog, Staff

The second CD Foundation User Story is now available: Developing Complete End-to-End CI/CD Pipelines at Ericsson.

This time around, Ericsson shares how they improved on scalability and observability by introducing a common event protocol in their CI/CD pipelines that sends over 3 million events per day, to benefit their 20K+ developers.

“Ericsson is actively contributing to the Continuous Delivery Foundation through various SIGs and also to the CDEvents project. Ericsson also held an end-user seat in the CDF TOC up until last month. We believe it is important to be involved in this foundation as an end-user to make sure our needs in the CI/CD space are catered for in the various open source projects we are using internally.

“Ericsson took part in creating the CDEvents project and is highly involved in the progression of the CDEvents protocol. This blog post describes Ericsson’s path to an event-driven CI/CD solution.”

Thank you to the authors:

  • Kristofer Hallén, Principal Developer, CI Tools Architect
  • Emil Bäckmark, CI/CD Architect
  • Mattias Linnér, CI/CD System Architect

Ericsson has been very involved in the CD Foundation for many years now, even winning the CDF End User Award in 2022. Emil Bäckmark served on the CDF Technical Oversight Committee as an end user representative between May 2022 and May 2023 and also is the co-chair of the CDEvents project as well as the Events Special Interest Group (SIG).

What are CDF User Stories?

The CDF User Stories Program features real-world use cases from companies embracing the change brought by Continuous Delivery, increasing their ability to deliver software with security and speed. The goal for the stories is to show the impact of adopting Continuous Delivery as a software development practice along with enabling CD technologies, (such as the CDF projects) the steps taken by respective organizations, and the additional benefits these resulted in improving the developer experience and productivity.

It’s a valuable resource for organizations that want to adopt Continuous Delivery and open source technologies because it showcases organizational leaders in their field.

You can read the first user story by Fidelity Investments: Securing Fidelity Investments’ Software Supply Chain.
