In a keynote speech at swampUP 2019, it was asserted that by 2020, all companies will adopt DevOps practices due to the ubiquitous nature of software in everyday life and its critical role in operations across various sectors. The speech highlighted that software failures, such as the Bay Area blackout and the Boeing 737 tragedy, underscore the importance of reliable software updates. With a massive influx of data projected to reach 175 zetabytes globally by 2025, the demand for DevOps expertise is growing, as evidenced by significant acquisitions like IBM's purchase of Red Hat and Microsoft's acquisition of GitHub, as well as the success of IPOs from companies like PagerDuty and Elastic. The move towards hybrid operations, blending on-premises and cloud solutions, signifies a full-stack development shift, emphasizing the need for integrated software development, release, and security processes. As companies increasingly become "Developer First," there is a push for collaboration and community engagement within the developer sphere, with an urgent call to prepare for the future where DevOps will be integral to managing, releasing, and securing the vast amounts of incoming data.
