Our annual survey is an opportunity to see where teams are succeeding with DevSecOps and where they might be struggling. Second, by capturing trends and movement in this market, we hope to give software development teams — from individual contributors to executives — insight into how to get the most out of their DevSecOps investments. This year’s survey respondents offered their views against the backdrop of a growing set of macroeconomic influences.

In May 2022, over 5,000 DevOps professionals shared details about their teams and practices. Despite a challenging business environment, strong momentum continued in automation, release cadences, and cutting-edge technology adoption. Secure software development is now an imperative for DevOps teams around the world. It’s the number one reason for - and benefits of - DevOps platform usage.

For the fourth year in a row, we asked DevOps teams to tell the truth about their practices and processes, their challenges and their careers. With a global pandemic swirling, we were surprised when nearly 4,300 people took time to do just that this past February. In 2021, teams are poised to step out of the DevOps “culture” battle and into the real work of technology implementation and (surprisingly) upbeat results.
