Buzzword!

From what I understand, DevOps refers to a mentality or paradigm in bridging traditional Ops or deployment roles and Development ones. It also refers to specific individuals at companies who manage this sort of thing? I’m not sure but I see a lot of job openings for “DevOps Engineers” so idk.

In any case it seems like DevOps methodologies have merit and revolve around automating a lot of the fun parts of software deployment like managing server compute instances, uploading codebases to said instances and setting up db connections, etc /s.

What implementing DevOps ideas into this project means is just CD CI and the various steps along that route. What my DevOps flow/stack looks like is this:

• Business logic is ‘modular’ (read: abusing dependency injections)
• Unit tests everywhere
• Coverage to shame developers (read: me) who haven’t written tests for their commits
• Linting to enforce a Singular Vision of Indentation™, among other things
• Git hooks to reject commits for the above reasons
• CodePipeline to essentially run $serverless deploy when the commit pushes, depending on the branch in question
  • More specifics about Codebuild and endpoint testing should be in the readme of the repo by the time you read this

Now I can write my business logic (+ tests) and everything is automated for me!
