DevOps is the layer that makes modern software actually work once it’s written. A combination of “development” and “operations,” the field merges software development and IT operations into one continuous workflow, so code can be written, tested, deployed and monitored without handoffs or delays. In practice, DevOps centers on automation, with teams managing infrastructure through code and catching issues early through monitoring and alerts.
As companies migrate more of their operations up to the cloud, the demand for DevOps has increased. Over the next ten years, the market is projected to jump from its current estimate of $13 billion to $108 billion by 2035. The following companies are some of the most influential drivers of that growth, frequently looking to onboard the next generation of DevOps talent to their teams.
