In 2022, there were significant trends in DevOps tools and culture, with a focus on workflow optimization, platform engineering, and AI augmentation. Shorter pipelines, identifying flaky tests, and improving health of open source were among the identified trends. The year was also marked by a shift towards dedicated experts in workflows, such as platform engineers, who review and improve pipelines and workflow. Additionally, there was an increased focus on AI tooling for software development, with companies like GitHub and CircleCI investing heavily in AI-powered tools to help developers. The discussion around multi-cloud also gained traction, with many companies adopting a hybrid cloud approach that includes both on-prem and public clouds. Overall, 2022 was the "year of the workflow", where workflows were optimized through better tooling, human-level improvements, and the adoption of open source and AI-powered solutions.
