Bringing DevOps Best Practices to All Workflows
Blog post from Kestra
DevOps has revolutionized software development by standardizing processes and enhancing collaboration, yet its principles have not been fully adopted in operational and data workflows, which remain fragmented and siloed due to the use of isolated tools. The proposed solution is an "Ops-Everything" model that integrates all operational workflows into a unified platform, supporting open standards and scalable orchestration akin to DevOps. This model promises to centralize visibility, enable real-time monitoring, and improve collaboration by offering a comprehensive orchestration layer that synchronizes data and operational processes, from ingestion to deployment. Kestra exemplifies this approach by providing a vendor-neutral orchestration platform that integrates various tools and supports diverse workflows, as demonstrated by its clients like Gorgias and Leroy Merlin France. Such platforms aim to break down silos, enhance scalability, and maintain transparency, representing the future of operational workflows by adapting DevOps best practices across all domains.
