A relatively new category of solutions helps organizations streamline their software development process. These tools, called AppOps, can simplify IT delivery for application development and performance management. This helps companies quickly adapt and respond to changing requirements.
AppOps refers to the operational aspect of application management. It includes a set of tools designed to allow developers to self-service the management and operation of their applications.
With AppOpps, operations teams standardize control and streamline the analysis, deployment, and management of software applications. Organizations use AppOps to improve the operation of the application layer.
Comparison between AppOps and DevOps
AppOps are considered part of DevOps, not individual strategies. AppOps simplifies the process by securely deploying and managing existing apps while adapting to organizational needs that can change over time. AppOps should work on any platform in the stack.
The DevOps service combines two key elements: software development and IT operations. The DevOps approach allows development and IT operations teams to collaborate across the software development lifecycle with a set of tools that extend automation beyond the build phase. The outcome is a seamless workflow between the two teams.
Components of AppOps
The two components of AppOps are operations related to
1. Application release
Application release refers to the actions required to ensure that applications and features are delivered in a timely and high quality manner.
The goal is to reduce errors and bugs that can lead to application errors.
2. Application monitoring
Application monitoring is finding software problems as soon as possible. This includes identifying and fixing issues while DevOps is working to deploy changes in the next version of the software.
DevOps defines automatic security controls for all deployed applications. AppOps uses the available infrastructure to create the required application resources. As AppOps matures, tech experts expect the infrastructure to be removed in return for developers. The purpose is to improve the efficiency and agility of software development.
Benefits of AppOps
AppOps brings significant benefits to software development:
- Fast response times.
- Ability to work with cloud-based management infrastructure.
- Security of browser-based applications and SaaS apps has improved.
- Reduced browser vulnerabilities in other applications.
- Improving communication between IT and managers.
- Better planning tools and coordination of business and IT goals.
- Improving quality with continuous feedback loops and proactive application management.
