Overview of this book

DevOps is a practical field that focuses on delivering business value as efficiently as possible. DevOps encompasses all the flows from code through testing environments to production environments. It stresses the cooperation between different roles, and how they can work together more closely, as the roots of the word imply—Development and Operations. After a quick refresher to DevOps and continuous delivery, we quickly move on to looking at how DevOps affects architecture. You'll create a sample enterprise Java application that you’ll continue to work with through the remaining chapters. Following this, we explore various code storage and build server options. You will then learn how to perform code testing with a few tools and deploy your test successfully. Next, you will learn how to monitor code for any anomalies and make sure it’s running properly. Finally, you will discover how to handle logs and keep track of the issues that affect processes

    Most tools work well on scales of up to about 20 people, but beyond that, we need to consider performance and licensing requirements. How many issues do we need to be able to track? How many users need access to the issue tracker? These are some of the questions we might have.

  • How many licenses do we need?

    In this regard, free software gains the upper hand, because proprietary software can have unintuitive pricing. Free software can be free of charge, with optional support licensing.

    Most of the issue trackers mentioned in this chapter are free software, with the exception of Jira.

  • Are there performance limitations?

    Performance is not usually a limiting factor, since most trackers use a production-ready database such as PostgreSQL...
