Details
Logz.io has been organizing DevOps surveys annually since 2016, with a different focus each year on the various aspects, trends, and philosophies of devops. The focus of the DevOps Pulse 2020 survey was on the increasing rate of adoption of cloud-native technologies like Kubernetes, microservices, and serverless frameworks. The survey constituted 40 questions and also covered important issues regarding visibility into infrastructure performance, achieving observability, and production monitoring optimization.
The results of the survey indicated the growing opportunities for innovation in the niche because of the integration of open source into Cloud Native stacks. The respondents included a positive gender representation and included people from the US, Europe, Middle East, Africa, and APAC.
The DevOps Pulse 2020 survey also focused on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on day-to-day operations. Results indicate that cloud-based DevOps facilitated seamless transition into work-from-home opportunities, with 40% of respondents hiring qualified people from regions they had till then ignored.
As production environments become more distributed and ephemeral, it’s increasingly difficult for engineering teams to understand systems’ availability and performance. As we see in this report, despite the proliferation of monitoring tools, obtaining real-time visibility into production systems has never been more challengingAsaf YigalCo-Founder and VP of Product, Logz.io
