Deep dives
The Importance of Collaboration and Security for Developers
Collaboration and security are crucial for developers and engineers. Developers don't wake up wanting to write vulnerabilities, so it's essential to make security consumable and actionable for them. GitLab focuses on shifting security left, providing security training within the product, and helping developers write more secure code. Collaboration between developers, ops, and security teams is vital to improving relationships and ensuring everyone's responsibility in maintaining security.
Trends in Test Automation and DevOps Platform Adoption
Test automation is on the rise, with 47% of teams now adopting full test automation, doubling from the previous year. This trend is driven by the use of DevOps platforms and the need to trust automation and machine learning to accelerate delivery. Organizations are increasingly moving away from using multiple tools and are seeking a consolidated DevOps platform. While some still resort to building their own solution, most recognize the benefits of using a unified DevOps platform to increase team happiness and productivity.
The Growth of Model Ops and the Evolution of GitLab's Mission
The adoption of model ops, which encompasses data ops and ML ops, has more than doubled, with 62% of respondents already using it. This highlights the rapid changes in software development and the increasing reliance on machine learning and data science. GitLab's mission has evolved to build the One DevOps platform, bringing together developers, ops engineers, security analysts, compliance teams, and other stakeholders. By using GitLab internally, the company continuously improves and delivers value to users from a unified data model and single UI.
The Shift towards DevSecOps and the Future of Development
DevSecOps methodology is becoming the industry standard, emphasizing the need to incorporate security throughout the development lifecycle. Developers, ops engineers, and security teams are increasingly taking responsibility for security, recognizing that collaboration and shared ownership are essential. The industry is seeing more adoption of DevOps platforms that enable collaboration, accelerate delivery, and ensure secure and compliant software development. The future will see increased test automation, faster release cycles, and further consolidation of tools to enhance developer happiness and productivity.
In the wake of GitLab's DevSecOps 2022 Survey, Roxana speaks to David DeSanto, VP of Product at GitLab, about the fascinating, surprising, and encouraging results of over 5,000 professionals in the DevOps space. ModelOps is rising. Teams relying on DIY DevOps solutions are getting left behind. Come find out how to best navigate the new world of DevOps with security front of mind.
