Boost Your Business’s Success and Your Team’s Productivity with DevOps
11. December 2024
In the digital era there is a certain pain that affects all businesses, irrespective of their size and/or domain. All of them need to deliver the value faster, spending less and responding to user needs and external changes more rapidly. This is where bridging the gap between development and operations becomes crucial.
This goal is harder to achieve when the development team and the operational team are too disparate: development sends code to operations who run it and sends it back to development to fix it. This often occurs due to siloed workflows or misaligned priorities.
The DevOps approach eliminates the blank space between development and operation functions by facilitating their integration. It orchestrates environments (usually cloud) where both teams can work iteratively and continuously test and deploy software all the way to production.
It can be done by a separate DevOps specialist or a group of specialists with an Agile mindset for continuous testing, improvement, integration and iteration.
As technology advances, the scope of DevOps has expanded to include modern innovations that address complex challenges.

“By integrating DevOps principles from the project’s inception, we’ve established a robust and efficient development pipeline.”
“Our Azure DevOps setup, complete with automated testing and infrastructure provisioning, has not only accelerated our development cycles but also significantly improved our software quality.”
What is Modern DevOps?
DevOps has grown beyond its foundational principles of continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD), evolving to address more sophisticated challenges in software development and operations. Modern DevOps incorporates new methodologies and tools that enhance efficiency, reliability, and security. Three key innovations driving this evolution are GitOps, AIOps, and DevSecOps:
- GitOps: This approach revolutionizes infrastructure management by treating infrastructure as code, using Git repositories as the single source of truth. It streamlines infrastructure updates and ensures consistency across environments, making deployments more predictable and reliable.
- AIOps: By integrating artificial intelligence into DevOps processes, AIOps enhances system monitoring, predicts potential issues, and automates repetitive tasks. This reduces downtime and enables teams to focus on strategic improvements rather than troubleshooting.
- DevSecOps: Security is now an integral part of every stage of the development lifecycle. DevSecOps embeds security practices from the very beginning, ensuring applications are fast, reliable, and secure, without slowing down the development process.
These advancements demonstrate that modern DevOps is more than just a methodology -it’s a dynamic, ever-evolving approach that empowers teams to tackle today’s most complex challenges while staying ahead of tomorrow’s demands.

“When we first implemented DevOps long time ago, deploying a new release to production took days, and critical errors were often caught only at the last minute. Within six months, our operational team could deploy releases in hours, with minimal developer involvement. “
“Today, we automate everything from creating test environments to running nightly integration tests, ensuring faster and more reliable deployments.”

Why Should You Look For a Nearshoring DevOps Team?
Conscensia has been providing DevOps services since 2015. As experts, we strongly recommend getting nearshoring teams and benefiting from all the advantages they bring to your business. That is how we describe these main benefits:
- Exceptional skill sets at disproportionately low prices. According to IT Industry Review, Ukraine has the largest and the fastest-growing number of IT specialists in Europe. Ukrainian IT specialists are known as some of the best at the global market. Yet, life in Ukraine is much cheaper and their salaries are lower than in western European countries.
Negligible time difference. Aligned business hours speed up development cycles. If you don’t need support 24/7 you can cut higher-priced night shifts as all team members will work during their day time.
Mild cultural difference. Geographical proximity means a relatively similar cultural background and creates good alignment between teams.

“Investing in DevOps isn’t just about streamlining IT processes – it’s about driving real business growth. A strong DevOps team empowers us to deliver faster, improve reliability, and adapt to market changes more efficiently. It’s a game-changer for innovation and success.”
