A DevOps workflow is a set of practices that combines software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops) to streamline and automate the processes of building, testing, and deploying applications. This workflow encourages collaboration between development and operations teams, aiming to shorten the software development lifecycle, increase deployment frequency, and deliver updates and features more reliably. Key components often include continuous integration, continuous delivery (CI/CD), automated testing, infrastructure as code, and monitoring. By integrating these practices, organizations can respond quickly to market changes, improve software quality, and enhance security by identifying vulnerabilities early in the development process.
