DevOps is the mix of the terms “Dev” (Development) and “Ops” (Operations) and identifies a software development methodology that uses new logic of sharing and collaboration between programmers and operations staff. The DevOps team accelerates the release and full operability of the software installed in office, using a set of established methodologies and tools to automate routine operations. By introducing a DevOps strategy, it is possible to test and deploy new applications much faster than traditional development methods.

Code Architects integrates the “agile” approach with the work of its DevOps, aiming at the formation of small, cross-functional and self-organized teams, in order to allow iterative and incremental development, adaptive planning and direct and continuous customer involvement in the development process. A Git repository is used as a code repository and version control system, and supports permissions, processes, automated tests and validation systems, continuous integration (CI) and continuous deployment (CD) in order to bring release time nearly to zero.

The Git repository also contains all the installation scripts, configuration details and templates created with tools such as Ansible, Terraform, Puppet and Chef. The use of automatic methods for configuring and implementing the infrastructure gave rise to the concept of infrastructure as code (IaC). The advantage of IaC is that it can be easily integrated into other DevOps processes: whether it is application code or infrastructure, everything goes through the same automatic process methodology, regardless of what is modified. The DevOps model, the continuous deployment and the IaC approach allow to respond quickly to market demands through continuous updates, with the absolute certainty that the new versions do not introduce unwanted changes or bugs.
