Discover the future of data integration with FME as we seamlessly blend the power of DevOps with the simplicity of no-code workflows. DevOps, the dynamic fusion of development (Dev) and operations (Ops), is revolutionizing the software industry by enhancing collaboration, boosting efficiency, and automating processes. Now, we're bringing this transformation to data integration. Join us to explore a real-life case study where a large team collaborates on an FME Workspace stored in GitHub. See how we automate testing and deployment, ensuring seamless transitions to staging and production in the FME Flow environment. Learn the essential tools to deploy enterprise workflows with stability. We'll showcase key features like Compare & Merge, the Deployment Parameter Store, the FME Flow CLI, and FME Flow Projects, and demonstrate their integration with CI/CD tooling. The result? An agile, collaborative, and change-ready approach to FME workflow creation. Don't miss this chance to unlock the full potential of FME and revolutionize your data integration game. Join us for an exciting glimpse into the future where DevOps and FME unite for unparalleled efficiency and quality.

10. What is DevOps?
● Bridge between Development & Ops 🌉
● Faster software delivery 🚀
● Collaboration & communication 🤝
● Continuous integration, delivery &
feedback 🔄
● Infrastructure as code ⚙
Introduction to DevOps

11. Key Pillars of DevOps
● Continuous Integration (CI): Automates merging of code from all developers to a
mainline, consolidating multiple changes into one project.
● Continuous Deployment (CD): Auto-releases code commits that pass tests, directly
updating the live software.
● Configuration Management: Maintains systems and software in a consistent state,
overseeing software configurations throughout changes.
● Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Manages data centers using definition files instead of
manual hardware setups or tools.

tools for seamless
DevOps integration.
Introduction to DevOps
Let’s deep dive on FME and DevOps.

14. Continuous
Integration

15. Source Control Integration
● Storing and track changes to your FME
workflows.
● FME Form and FME Flow workflows can be
stored in any source control, e.g. git.
Continuous Integration

16. Resolve Workspace Conflicts with Ease
Continuous Integration
Workspace Compare Tool -
A team can now work on the
same workspace and
changes can be easily
resolved.

17. Automated Testing
Continuous Integration
● Run your FME workflows in a test environment with test datasets to ensure they produce
expected results.
● Integration with automated alerts to inform stakeholders or team members of the results of
tests, validations, or any issues that arise during the CI process.
● Supported through test licences so you can run multiple environments.

18. Continuous
Deployment

19. Automated Deployment
Continuous Deployment
Full nested dependency
support makes it easy to
migrate entire workflows
between Flow
environments.

22. Flow Security & Access Control
Continuous Deployment
● Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Ensure only authorized personnel can deploy or
make changes.
● Secure Deployment Protocols: Utilize encrypted channels for all deployments.
● Integration with Identity Providers: Use OAuth, SAML, or other trusted authentication
methods.

23. Configuration
