DevOps Maturity
Where does your setup fit on our DevOps maturity scale?
+ Poor
- We upload source code to the server manually.
+ Fair
- We have scripts that build and deploy but still we need to run it manually.
+ Good
- We’re using a CI script for our deployment but the CI doesn’t include certain tasks like running unit tests or running DB migrations.
+ Great
- There is a CI script which builds the app, runs the unit tests, does the pre-deployment tasks and deploys to the cluster.
- It’s easy to understand how our deployment process works.
- We have a predefined process to deploy to production.
- We have a well documented rollback plan.
