Key Takeaways
- Developer productivity could be better when there is communication between teams. This can lead to many problems in the production or testing environments, and not everyone on the teams may be in sync. Devtron provides a unified developer experience for all team members. Everyone has access to the same information, which reduces miscommunication, and teams can take the right actions at the right time.
- Often, developer velocity is slowed down as they need to get an access token from operations teams to perform their tasks. A platform that can allow the developers to self-service can improve efficiency. However, it is important to have proper guardrails in place to ensure that any harmful actions cannot take place.
- Developers need to have adequate debugging tools as well so that any issues with the applications can be found and addressed. Devtron provides a plethora of different tools that Developers can leverage to debug the application pods and address the root cause of any issues.
- Oftentimes, a CI/CD pipeline may need to leverage external tooling, to ensure that the builds and deployments are secure. You might want to dynamically update Jira tickets once the builds are done. Devtron provides an extensible CI/CD pipeline which can boost developer efficiency and automate tons of manual tasks.
