Toolchain Selection: A Critical Step in DevOps Strategy

In the current software development environment where efficiency and flexibility are critical components, DevOps has emerged as the premier means of deploying software. Another important facet of an organization’s DevOps agenda is choosing the right tools for the DevOps toolchain. Choosing a set of tools is critically important to the success of any DevOps project as it defines the pace of development, quality, and effectiveness of the final product, and the efficiency of cooperation between the teams. 

As Chaintech Network, we focus on improving the efficiency of the company's DevOps function and identifying the right toolset for the business. That way we guarantee that your team is equipped with the best CI, CD, automation, and efficiency tools.

Why is Toolchain important for DevOps?

DevOps is based on collaboration between development and operations teams and on automation. But how do you achieve that? As one can see, with the right tools in place, According to the surveyed businesses, 61 percent said that they experience a faster time to deployment after adopting DevOps, but it requires choosing the right tools. 

Things to bear in mind when choosing DevOps Tool Chain 

• Assessing Your Current Infrastructure

  Before selecting any DevOps tools, it is very important to evaluate what you already have in place. Which tools are in practice or have been applied at present? How are they performing? What gaps need to be filled? Chaintech Network starts by evaluating your current system and processes with a view to understanding equipment that will complement your operations.

• Scalability and Flexibility

  The toolchain that is used in your business flow should be flexible to meet the needs of expanding businesses. When software has been adopted, that is okay for a small team of say ten people, but when it is scaled up to include hundreds of people, it will not do the work. Thus, we ensure that the selected tools can work with increasing workloads without facing some difficulties and slowness in their operations.

• Compatibility and Integration

  Being able to adopt, implement, and operationalize a set of tools that are integrated end-to-end to create a smooth toolchain is fundamental to creating a successful DevOps environment. Can you successfully use your CI/CD pipeline with your version control system? Does the use of both the testing and monitoring tools allow effective integration? Chaintech Network guarantees that your chosen tools facilitate your DevOps approach without creating resistance in your development workflows.

• Automation Capabilities

  DevOps equals automation, and for this reason, choosing automation tools with potent features is critical. Continuous integration and deployment is possibly among the techniques that can significantly decrease the amount of time required to put a new feature live. But do you know that if companies have implemented automated DevOps, they get 45% faster in terms of software delivery? That is the beauty of good tool selection.
