Most DevOps Plans Fail, but Things Are Getting Better

There is much discussion about boosting application release cadences, but the fact is that most organizations have not figured out how to deploy applications more quickly. According to data from analyst firm Gartner, 90% of DevOps initiatives will fail to fully meet expectations through 2023. In this breakfast episode of The New Stack Makers podcast, streamed live during LaunchDarkly ’s annual Trajectory user’s conference, we discussed today’s DevOps struggles and challenges. Potential solutions were also covered, such as how DevOps teams are turning to self-service developer platforms to meet their cloud-deployment goals. Cody De Arkland , principal technical marketing engineer, LaunchDarkly; Rachel Stephens , senior analyst for analyst firm RedMonk; Steve George , chief operations officer for GitOps solutions provider and Flux creator Weaveworks; and Margaret Francis , president and chief operating officer for Armory, all participated in this discussion. Alex Williams , founder and publisher of The New Stack, hosted this podcast. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
