TY - JOUR A1 - Sen, Abhijit A1 - Falter, Sandro A1 - Mayer, Nicolas T1 - Using DevOps paradigm to deploy web applications JF - Issues of Information Systems N2 - DevOps paradigm is widely used in industry to develop software faster, deploy high quality frequent releases of features by integrating and harmonizing the Development and IT Operations activities. Industries are taking strategic decisions to remove the barriers that existed between Development and Operational teams by encouraging collaborations among these teams throughout System Development Life Cycle (SDLC). These strategic decisions to implement DevOps paradigm resulted in the development and emergence of large arrays of tool chains to support, monitor, and automate activities of various SDLC stages. In this paper authors attempt to give practical insights on how the using of DevOps can speed up the management, development and deployment process of a simple web application. Widely used DevOps model consisting of eight stages is used to implement the example application. A toolchain consisting of state of arts tools is used at various DevOps stages. A detailed explanation of each tool, including details to their implementation and a short evaluation concludes the study. The results revealed that the usage of DevOps enables to accelerate the development process of web applications, as most steps during the build and testing process can be automated. Especially the outsourcing of operational overhead to an external cloud provider can lead to economic advantages, which will impact the future of software development.
