Introduction to DevOps

DevOps is a methodology that combines software development (Development - Dev) and system operations (Operations - Ops) to optimize the process of developing, deploying, and operating applications. DevOps helps development and operations teams work together more effectively through tools, automated processes, and collaborative culture.

Why is DevOps Important?

Accelerated Development Speed

DevOps helps automate processes like testing, deployment, and monitoring, reducing time-to-market for products.

Improved Product Quality

Integration of automated testing and CI/CD helps detect bugs early, minimizing risks during software deployment.

Enhanced Reliability

Monitoring and logging tools help quickly identify issues, reduce downtime, and ensure systems operate stably.

Better Team Collaboration

DevOps breaks down barriers between development and operations teams, creating a more effective collaborative work environment.

Key Components of DevOps

CI/CD (Continuous Integration & Continuous Deployment)

CI/CD automates the process of source code integration, testing, and deployment, minimizing errors when releasing products to production environments.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

IaC allows infrastructure management as code, making it easy to deploy and scale systems.

Monitoring and Logging

Tools like Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack help monitor and analyze logs to quickly handle incidents.

Containerization and Orchestration

Docker and Kubernetes help package, manage, and scale applications flexibly.

Popular DevOps Tools

• CI/CD: Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD
• IaC: Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation
• Monitoring: Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack
• Container & Orchestration: Docker, Kubernetes
• Source Code Management: Git, GitHub, GitLab

Conclusion

DevOps is an important methodology that helps improve development speed, product quality, and optimize system operations. In the upcoming articles of this series, we will explore each aspect of DevOps in depth, from CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code to system monitoring.

# Use Node.js as the base
FROM node:18

# Set working directory in container
WORKDIR /app

# Copy package.json and install dependencies
COPY package.json .
RUN npm install

# Copy entire source code into container
COPY . .

# Expose port 3000 for the application
EXPOSE 3000

# Command to run the application
CMD ["npm", "start"]
