This document summarizes the key findings from the 2018 State of DevOps report. Some of the main points include:
- Elite performing teams are still able to optimize for throughput, stability and availability.
- Adopting essential cloud characteristics and using cloud resources effectively is correlated with high performance.
- Architecture and how teams are structured matters more than the specific technology stack.
- Open source software usage and avoiding outsourcing are correlated with better performance.
- Continuous testing, monitoring, security and including the database in DevOps practices are emerging technical best practices.
- Culture and ensuring autonomy for teams also contributes significantly to performance.
The Data Behind DevOps: What Does it Take to be a High Performer? Jenkins Wor...Nicole Forsgren
How do you become a high performing technology organization? Over the past five years, the State of DevOps Report has shown how the highest-performing technology teams decisively outperform their lower-performing peers. The report has also investigated the effects of burnout, culture and employee engagement on organizational performance. Nicole Forsgren shares insights into the key leadership, technical, architectural, and product capabilities that drive these outcomes, including new findings from cloud, outsourcing, and open source. She offers highlights and surprises uncovered over the last five years from over 30,000 responses.
The Key to High Performance - What the Data SaysNicole Forsgren
Over the past five years, the State of DevOps Report has shown that high-performing IT teams decisively outperform their peers: they deploy 200x more frequently, with 2,555 faster lead times and 1/3 change fail rate. This year, we investigate architecture, experimentation in work, other business outcomes (e.g., for gov't). Come see the latest in what it takes to make software amazing.
Secrets and surprises of high performance: What the data saysNicole Forsgren
Nicole Forsgren shares results and stories to uncover the secrets and surprises of what really makes high-performing technology-driven teams and organizations, helping you deliver quality software quickly and reliably. The insights include architecture, burnout, leadership, and employee engagement. You’ll leave with takeaways you can apply immediately to make your team more effective and warning signs to watch out for as you continue to push the envelope in your technology journey.
So often, we talk about doing the DevOps for money, fame, and high performance. But DevOps was the original hipster of changing the way we work to take care of ourselves and each other. In this talk, Nicole Forsgren will discuss how these technology transformations can not only help us ship software with speed and stability, they can reduce burnout, improve our culture, and communicate better. She will also share the latest research from her team about productivity, and what this means for the future of work -- spoiler alert: productivity is personal. As we shift back into work patterns that look like normal (whatever normal is), we can reimagine cultures and technologies that shift to support us and our teams -- just like DevOps did in its beginning.
If you don't know where you're going it doesn't matter how fast you get thereNicole Forsgren
The best-performing organizations have the highest quality, throughput, and reliability while also delivering value. They are able to achieve this by focusing on a few key measurement principles, which Nicole and Jez will outline in this talk. These include knowing your outcome measuring it, capturing metrics in tension, and collecting complementary measures… along with a few others. Nicole and Jez explain the importance of knowing how (and what) to measure—ensuring you catch successes and failures when they first show up, not just when they’re epic, so you can course correct rapidly. Measuring progress lets you focus on what’s important and helps you communicate this progress to peers, leaders, and stakeholders, and arms you for important conversations around targets such as SLOs. Great outcomes don’t realize themselves, after all, and having the right metrics gives us the data we need to be great SREs and move performance in the right direction.
What I learned from 5 years of sciencing the crap out of DevOpsDevOpsDays DFW
For years we laboured under the misapprehension that going faster meant breaking things. After several years of science-ing, Jez and Dr Nicole Forsgren have identified the key elements that enable not just higher throughput but also higher stability, availability and quality, lower cost, and happier teams. Discover how continuous delivery, cloud infrastructure, and effective management and leadership practices produce higher software delivery performance (and indeed what we might mean by performance), along with how to measure culture and its impact on IT and organizational culture. Find out how we actually ensure our results are reliable and meaningful. Learn the patterns and practices used by high performing organizations to outcompete their peers.

Dave Farley discusses the problems raised by inefficient processes creating poor quality output, too late to capitalise on the expected business value, and proposes solutions to them. Filmed at qconlondon.com.
Dave Farley is a thought-leader in the field of Continuous Delivery, DevOps and Software Development in general. He is co-author of the Jolt-award winning book 'Continuous Delivery', a regular conference speaker, blogger and a contributor to the Reactive Manifesto.
Four years, 25,000+ DevOps professionals, and some science... What did we find? Well, the headline is that IT *does* matter if you do it right. With a mix of technology, processes, and a great culture, IT contributes to organizations' profitability, productivity, and market share. We also found that using continuous delivery and lean management practices not only makes IT better -- giving you throughput and stability without tradeoffs -- but it also makes your work feel better -- making your organizational culture better and decreasing burnout. Nicole will share these findings as well as tips and tricks to help make your own DevOps transformation awesome.
Are We There Yet? Signposts On Your Journey to AwesomeNicole Forsgren
If you listen to grandiose tales of DevOps journeys, everything is awesome. But how can those of us not living in The Lego Movie transform our technology in smart and systematic ways? What is “awesome”? How do we point our organizations in that direction, and how will we know progress when we see it?
The best-performing IT organizations have the highest quality, throughput, and reliability while also showing value on the bottom line. When embarking on a journey of transformation, you want to measure your current status and subsequent progress while keeping tabs on factors that drive improvement in technology performance. Nicole Forsgren explains the importance of knowing how (and what) to measure—ensuring you catch successes and failures when they first show up, not just when they’re epic. Measuring progress lets you focus on what’s important and helps you communicate this progress to peers, leaders, and executives who decide budget. Business outcomes don’t realize themselves, after all, and “doing DevOps” doesn’t define stakeholder value any more than “being awesome” does.
Four years and over 20,000 respondents later, and we have learned a lot about what makes IT and organizational performance awesome. This year we include insights into security, containers, trunk-based development, and lean product management. Tune in for practical take-aways to make your teams' technology transformations even better.
We all know the CAMS model of DevOps: Culture, Automation, Measurement, and Sharing… what if Measurement is the secret ingredient to awesome DevOps?
The most innovative organizations use metrics to measure the right things so they can make their DevOps awesome. You want to measure the right things, too - but where should you start? You need to know what you want to measure, what not to measure, and what to watch out for. Because the secret is that metrics shape your culture - and Nicole will show you how.
Sure, we have all thought that continuous delivery is important in software delivery... now we have data to back it up. Dr. Nicole Forsgren will present new research that shows the central role that CD plays in Agile and DevOps, the key processes that contribute to it, and how it can not only impact your IT teams and company success, but how it can also make your work feel better. This extends her prior research showing why investments in IT are now impacting teams and organizations, how we got here, and what’s next. The presentation includes the data to help you prove your case (to management or even yourself) about why CD and DevOps are essential to winning, as well as great stories and examples to really bring these concepts to life. Nicole invites all DevOps practitioners to build their teams up so they can lead high performing organizations, and think about what they can do to affect change beyond their teams and their organizations.
This presentation is a more interactive version of my DevOps and the Bottom Line talk. Specifically, it helps groups think about how the astonishing increases in throughput and stability can impact their own teams and organizations.
Dr. Nicole Forsgren will present the latest research that uncovers what really drives business outcomes of market share, profitability, and productivity as well as DevOps transformation awesomeness... Hint: these need the right mix of IT, culture, and practice, and include continuous delivery and lean management. This exciting research was done with Jez Humble and Gene Kim, and is promising exciting new projects in the space.
How DevOps is Transforming IT, and What it Can Do for AcademiaNicole Forsgren
Today's business climate is challenging companies to innovate and respond to the market, and forcing them to do so with much greater pressure than ever before. DevOps provides organizations with the ability to respond to this challenge, helping them to innovate and create at velocity and bring value to their business through software, because there really aren't any major companies that aren't software companies.
But the *real* message here is that DevOps is more than just technology. We have been beating our drum for years that DevOps is revolutionary because it goes so far beyond just the technology (tools) -- it is also the practices and the culture. All three of these are required for DevOps to truly effect transformational change. Technology professionals also realized they had to reach out to peers in other silos and collaborate with them in all three areas in order to truly succeed -- and that if the changes were done courageously, with empathy, embracing the new diversity of thought and methodology, things would be amazing. And they ARE.
Academia is facing similar challenges to innovate in the face of new challenges. As a fellow academic (or very recent academic! I still feel like a member of the tribe), I felt these pressures. Perhaps we can look to DevOps methodologies for inspiration and ideas to innovate at velocity. It will take more than just tools, it will take novel practices and collaboration with peers we haven't traditionally worked with.
So what happens when you're brought in to a team and asked to "introduce a metrics culture" or "measure all the things?" This talk will cover just that: how to assess the state of affairs in your team or organization regarding measurement, how to decide what things to measure for maximum impact, and how to best communicate and iterate those measurements throughout the journey. The talk will cover these topics using my own journey at Chef as well as journeys I see at other companies that I meet and consult with.

Enterprises want to deliver more value with higher quality at a faster pace. Many development teams have adopted agile frameworks to improve their ability to deliver software. This has led to a local optimization for the development teams and they have become good at delivering potentially shippable increments of their products, but from there, they typically see organizational constraints in moving it to the customer. The development organization is quickly adding features to the queue waiting to be released, but the operations teams are struggling to support fires in production, maintain stability, and provide the environments and infrastructure needed so development teams can move their new functionality forward. The operation team’s focus on stability usually minimizes the number of changes in production thus creating infrequent, large batches being deployed at a planned date. Can Agile and DevOps bring the development and operations teams together to remove the organizational constraints in moving the software to the customer?
In this session, we’ll talk about the relationship of Agile and DevOps, not as an intersection, but as a progression of capability with development and operation teams working together to remove those constraints. We’ll discuss how using Agile and DevOps practices together, teams can release value faster, with higher quality, and in more stable environments making it safer to deploy.
DevOps Night - Shifting Security to the Left - SCTV Tower - 19 September 2018Adhitya Hartowo
Presentation for DevOps Night talk in SCTV Tower in Jakarta on 19 September 2018. Sharing on how to bring security to DevOps environment on Development side.
DevOps needs to consider many different aspects of software quality, including security. The term DevSecOps was developed to highlight that security is a focus of the pipeline, not a second-class citizen.
Fortunately, we can define done for our pipeline so that it includes security. Continuous integration can invoke static analysis tools to test for security errors and check if we are using components with known vulnerabilities. Automated deployments and virtualization make dynamic environments available for testing in a production-like setting. Regression tests can drive traffic through proxies for security analysis. From the code to the systems where we deploy the software, the process can be designed to make sure that we follow security best practices, and not produce insecure software.
Participants will learn how to construct a definition of done that focuses on security in a DevOps pipeline. They will see how to define security practices that build confidence that they are doing DevSecOps, and how those practices and criteria might mature over time.
Join Lance Knight, SVP and GM of ConnectALL, at his session to understand the changing forces that are creating the urgency for value delivery and greater efficiencies between development and operations. Lance will review some winning and losing DevOps strategies we gathered when surveying our customers around the world
Tech Mahindra and CollabNet have worked together on a number of mission-critical projects, and over the course of their partnership have developed unique expertise in lifecycle, development-to-production metrics. Gain an understanding not only of what metrics are important, but also practical approaches to building reports and dashboards that deliver a single-pane view of all your delivery pipelines across the enterprise.
Participants will learn:
KPI’s of end-to-end dashboard driven development and delivery
Best practices for metrics in Agile / DevOps environments
Role of technology frameworks for integrated planning and reporting
DevOpsDays Baltimore 2018: A Definition of Done for DevSecOps - Gene GotimerDevOpsDays Baltimore
DevOps cannot be achieved without considering many different aspects of software quality, including security. The term DevSecOps was developed to highlight that security was being focused on as part of the pipeline, not a second-class citizen.
Fortunately, DevOps and continuous delivery practices give us opportunities to add different types of security testing to our pipeline so that security can be part of our definition of done. Continuous integration can invoke static analysis tools to test for simple security errors and check if components with known vulnerabilities are being used. Automated deployments and virtualization make dynamic environments available for testing in a production-like setting. Regression test suites can be used to drive traffic through proxies for security analysis. From the code to the systems where the software is being deployed, the process can make sure that security best practices are followed and insecure software is not being produced.
Gene will talk about how to construct a definition of done that focuses on security along with other types of quality in a DevOps pipeline. He will discuss how to define security practices and criteria that are appropriate for our teams and our projects to be confident that we are doing DevSecOps, and how those practices and criteria might mature over time.

No Ops? Or Yes, Ops! The Future of Operations in a DevOps WorldOpsRamp
DevOps is supposed to bring the worlds of software development and IT operations together, leveraging automation to shift the responsibilities of ops personnel away from traditional ops tasks.
In some circles, the natural evolution of this trend leads to ‘NoOps’ – where data centers are entirely lights-out, with nary an ops person in sight. For enterprises, the ops role will certainly evolve, but rumors of its demise have been greatly exaggerated.
In the future, IT capabilities will become a set of shared services with central governance that supports autonomy across the entire organization, so that teams can be as close to the customer experience as possible.
Join Jason Bloomberg, president of analyst firm Intellyx, and Darren Cunningham, vice president, marketing from OpsRamp, who will discuss:
What should be the role of IT ops in the new modern, hybrid, multi-cloud, cloud native world
What are the new skills, approaches, and strategies that ops teams will require
How DevOps and other transformative trends will actually make ops more important, not less
We all know that the DevOps approach brings developers and operators into closer collaboration. On the other hand, we learned that the requirements of each team member are different to achieve software product development.
For example:
Product Owner must deliver the high quality product by a deadline and wants to know what is happening in the project because it is necessary to take an action before a minor issue becomes critical.
Developers want to focus on implementation by automating code validation and unit tests to keeping code quality.
QA team requires to cover wide range of test cases with security check in a timely manner.
Operating team is comfortable as long as the system is stable.
In order to tie these various requirements together, we propose the entire agile development process as "DevOps+" by visualizing throughout project - issue management, software design, code implementation, quality testing, systems deployment, security check, release management and its operation in-the-Cloud.
This session will propose Drupal-as-a-Service for "DevOps+" with the integration of back-end systems including JIRA, Git, Chef, Jenkins, Veracode (for Code Security Validation), Public/Private Clouds, Nagios, Splunk and collectd.
DevOps - The Future of Application Lifecycle Automation Gunnar Menzel
Development to Operations (DevOps) will have a profound impact on the global IT sector in the near future. Realizing DevOps’ full potential, IT vendors have been agile enough in providing new products and services under the label “DevOps inside”, at an ever- increasing pace. However, with the growth in product choices, conflicting definitions and competing services, customers often encounter confusion, while making complex purchase decisions. They often seem to be unsure about how to deploy DevOps and get the most out of the solution.
While not trying to delve deep into DevOps, the Whitepaper tries to answer the following key questions:
What is DevOps?
What is DevOps trying to achieve?
How will DevOps achieve this?
How best to make use of the new developments?
Its aim is to help the reader:
Understand the DevOps concepts
Understand its current value and restrictions
In Data Engineer’s Lunch #68, Will Angel, Technical Product Manager at Caribou Financial, will provide an introduction to DevOps practices and tooling including testing, deployment automation, logging, monitoring, and DevOps principles.

DevOps Concepts for Data Science (DEV347-R2) - AWS re:Invent 2018Amazon Web Services
DevOps and Data Science? How does that work? In software teams where innovation is a priority, DevOps can be an accelerator. In data science and machine learning, there are a number of factors that increase complexity of systems and thus the complexity of DevOps. This session will touch on fundamental concepts in data science such as data management, ETL, modeling, and model validation, and open discussion around some ways that common tools and processes can be used to decouple and stabilize workflows to accelerate research.
Devops Intro - Devops for Unicorns & DevOps for HorsesBoonNam Goh
An introduction to DevOps including full-fledged DevOps (the so-called DevOps for Unicorns) and legacy application DevOps (the so-called DevOps for Horses).
Ever wondered about Developer Experience (DevEx) and how it can truly impact your work? Join us for a chat where we break down what DevEx is and why it's relevant for everyone, not just devs. DevsOps and productivity expert Dr. Nicole Forsgren will reveal how DevEx can ignite cultural change and deliver real results in today's rapid software development landscape, backed by the latest research findings. She will share how Microsoft is leveraging a DevEx perspective to drive cultural shifts and enable AI-powered innovations that make expertise available to all teams. It's not just about code; it's about fostering better vibes and achieving outstanding outcomes for all. Don't miss out on this journey into the magic of DevEx.
For years, there have been stories of continuous delivery making teams awesome… but can CD make all teams awesome? And how? Dr. Nicole Forsgren will present data from over 20,000 technical professionals showing the central role that CD plays in software development and delivery. She will show you how doing CD can drive key organizational outcomes like profitability, productivity, and market share. Nicole also presents the key aspects of CD that make your DevOps awesome, like trunk-based development, test data, and test automation, and provides examples of success from teams undergoing their own technology transformations. The presentation also includes other important drivers of DevOps success, like lean product management and team culture. At the end of this talk, you will have the information to help you prove your case (to management or even yourself) about why CD and DevOps are essential to winning, as well as great stories and examples to really bring these concepts to life. You’ll leave with tips you can take back to get started on your own DevOps initiative.
The Data on DevOps: Making the Case for AwesomeNicole Forsgren
What’s the value proposition of DevOps? Does culture change show up in the bottom line? What practices predict high IT performance? We hear many stories to inspire and inform us, but the plural of anecdote is not data. Let’s dive into the research and find out which DevOps practices drive optimal IT and business outcomes.
The data shows that the best IT performers have the highest throughput and reliability while contributing to organizational profitability, productivity, and market share goals. Industry trends around security, containers, continuous delivery, and lean management relate to IT performance and quality: let’s talk about how.
Management and practitioners alike will leave with a better understanding of how to achieve the best outcomes, while armed with the data they need to make the case for change.
We don't always think of it this way, but your metrics *are* your culture... Your metrics shape behavior and incentives, which really is the heart of culture.
What we learned from three years sciencing the crap out of devopsNicole Forsgren
Three years, 20,000 DevOps professionals, and some science... What did we find? Well, the headline is that IT *does* matter if you do it right. With a mix of technology, processes, and a great culture, IT contributes to organizations' profitability, productivity, and market share. We also found that using continuous delivery and lean management practices not only makes IT better -- giving you throughput and stability without tradeoffs -- but it also makes your work feel better -- making your organizational culture better and decreasing burnout. Jez and Nicole will share these findings as well as tips and tricks to help make your own DevOps transformation awesome.
This keynote was presented at ChefConf 2015, Ted Talk style. As such, it's all pictures, so I've included notes. I talk about what we know about the DevOps movement and what's coming next, in three key areas: tooling and automation, process and practice, and culture and community.
Winning the Budget Game: How to Get the Money You Need for IT Every TimeNicole Forsgren
Getting the resources your team needs is a matter of knowing just enough about finances to communicate what you want, and explaining how it will benefit the company. The trick is to speak their language. Learn the basics of budgeting, benchmarking, resource allocation, cost-benefit analysis, and communicating costs using tools like net present value. Understand the importance of your business cycle and the difference between cap-ex and op-ex. These are slides from a half-day course that also covers spreadsheet magic, like pivot tables and pivot charts.
Keynote address given at Campus LISA, UCSD, July 2014. Abstract: Technical professionals act as brokers in organizations, communicating across functional and organizational boundaries. As brokers, tech professionals straddle two worlds, and can leverage this space if they know how. This talk will focus on understanding the gap between the IT function and management and how to bridge that gap in order to increase respect for IT among management, and improve your relationship with management. The talk will also cover identifying your (or your team’s) role within the organization, effective communication with upper management, positioning yourself and your team to increase visibility, and becoming a strategic partner.
Presentation given at DevOps Enterprise Summit 2014. Abstract: For the first time in recent history, researchers have found a link between IT investments and organizational performance — if these IT investments occur with the right mix of IT, culture, and practice called DevOps. For the last two years, Dr. Nicole Forsgren has worked in collaboration with Gene Kim, Jez Humble and Puppet Labs to determine the health and habits of DevOps organizations, examining over 14,000 survey responses to identify the top predictors of IT performance and organizational performance. Dr. Forsgren will give a brief summary of the shocking findings of the 2013 survey, as well as an outline of the desired outcomes for the 2014-2015 survey. She will close with a call to action, inviting the DevOps Enterprise Summit attendees for their help in shaping the IT Revolution research agenda.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
DevOps and Testing slides at DASA ConnectKari Kakkonen
My and Rik Marselis slides at 30.5.2024 DASA Connect conference. We discuss about what is testing, then what is agile testing and finally what is Testing in DevOps. Finally we had lovely workshop with the participants trying to find out different ways to think about quality and testing in different parts of the DevOps infinity loop.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Our story begins with Harvard Business Review.
BUT WHAT IS HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW?
HBR is a magazine that managers and executives read that presents research in an short, easy-to-read format.
This is where management gets all of their ideas from.
In the year of our lord 2003, Nicholar Carr wrote an article TITLED
Who is Nicholas Carr? He is a Pulitzer Prize nominated writer. So his ideas count even more!
That whole “IT doesn’t matter” thing? Nicholas Carr had a point.
He was making his case based on the way companies were doing tech in the 80s and 90s.
…
Well, this idea can die in a fire.
IT, and technology, DOES matter.
But we need more than stories and intuition to tell us that. We need data. We need proof to tell management so that we can get our work and our initiatives funded.
That whole “IT doesn’t matter” thing? Nicholas Carr had a point.
