The overwhelming majority of developers in a new survey — 84% — say they’re involved in DevOps activities. But despite this, devs haven’t gotten any faster at making code changes and putting them into production over the past two and a half years.
The increasing complexity of the projects DevOps teams work on may be slowing down developer velocity, suggested the report by SlashData and the CD Foundation, a project of the Linux Foundation. Here are some of the findings:
- Lead times to restore service after an outage have increased. According to the report, it takes up to a day for 44% of DevOps practitioners to restore services compared to 54% who said the same since data collection began in the third quarter of 2020.
- The time needed to implement code changes has not improved. Thirty-seven percent of DevOps practitioners said their lead time for code changes is less than a week. That’s the same percentage that gave that answer in Q3 2020.
