DevOps - Análise do processo de implantação da cultura DevOps em uma empresa brasileira

Abstract

In this study, the initial motivation was driven by the need to enhance software development processes in a Brazilian company. The organization faced challenges stemming from a multi-stage, waterfall process. To overcome these limitations, the transition to DevOps was adopted as a core objective, aiming to achieve greater efficiency, integration, and automation in software development and delivery processes. To achieve this goal, guiding principles were established to facilitate the adoption of DevOps practices. Additionally, a literature review was conducted to compare traditional and agile methodologies, identifying the benefits and obstacles associated with DevOps. Throughout the case study, the importance of continuous integration and continuous delivery became evident, as well as the crucial role of senior management support in ensuring the success of adoption. While improvements in software quality were documented, resistance to change was also highlighted as a significant challenge. The adoption of DevOps practices in the organizational setting effectively aligned with the goals of more frequent releases, automation, and reliable software development, meeting the specific needs and practices of each sector. This was driven by the ongoing pursuit of improvement and efficiency within the company’s context.
