More often than not, developers today are also engaged in DevOps processes, according to the 2021 State of Continuous Delivery Report.
The 33-page report was sponsored by the CD Foundation, which was founded in 2019 and itself is part of the Linux Foundation.
In the era before DevOps became common, developers focused on code development while deployment and production usage was entirely an operational exercise. However, in 2021 only 26% of developers don’t participate in DevOps activity, the report found.
“The results show that the majority of developers are involved in DevOps-related activities, which speaks to the broad adoption,” Tracy Miranda, executive director of the CD Foundation, told ITPro Today. “Also, the report showed DevOps is widespread in organizations of all sizes, with at least 80% of professional developers who work for companies of two or more employees being involved in the space.”
