DevOps isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a mindset, a culture, and a toolchain that transforms how software is built and delivered.


To help professionals and teams clearly visualize the DevOps journey, I’ve created a simplified DevOps Roadmap that breaks it down into 6 key stages, each supported by widely-used tools:


🔹 1. Plan & Track

📌 Tools: Jira, Trello, Azure Boards

✅ Collaborate, define user stories, and track progress with agility.


🔹 2. Develop

📌 Tools: Git, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket

✅ Version control, branching strategies, and peer reviews are the foundation of modern development.


🔹 3. Build & Integrate

📌 Tools: Maven, Gradle, Jenkins, GitLab CI

✅ Automate builds and trigger tests on every commit to ensure integration works across the team.


🔹 4. Test

📌 Tools: Selenium, JUnit, TestNG, Postman

✅ Quality is non-negotiable. Continuous testing ensures reliability and confidence in your releases.


🔹 5. Release & Deploy

📌 Tools: Docker, Kubernetes, ArgoCD, Helm

✅ Containerization and orchestration make deployments consistent, scalable, and repeatable.


🔹 6. Monitor & Feedback

📌 Tools: Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, Datadog

✅ Measure what matters—app performance, errors, and user experience—then iterate fast.


💡 Whether you're a beginner, team lead, or architect, understanding where you are and what tool fits where helps demystify DevOps.
