DevOps can benefit a company's product lifecycle, its competitive advantage, and its ability to more quickly meet customer needs.
A Modular Approach
Trend #1: DevOps will increase modular approaches to system building.
Previously, IT organizations created monolithic products for their customers. However, the best practice today is to employ small and nimble teams to manage individual applications. While this can sound dysfunctional, companies that embrace the chaos to drive future growth will thrive.
TIP: The crux of DevOps success is in breaking activities into bite-sized chunks. For any new product that an organization launches, DevOps teams should always approach the application with a modular approach in mind, and have a clear plan on how to break down existing monolithic products in the same fashion.
