 💻 DEVOPS STEP 2: DEVELOP – Where Code Comes to Life 👩‍💻👨‍💻

After planning and prioritizing, the next critical step in the DevOps journey is development—writing, reviewing, and managing code collaboratively and efficiently.

But in DevOps, developing is not just coding. It’s about:

✅ Clean code

✅ Version control

✅ Code reviews

✅ Team collaboration

✅ Reusability and consistency

🔧 Key Tools in the Develop Phase:

Git – The backbone of modern version control

GitHub – Social coding, PRs, and seamless collaboration

GitLab – Git + CI/CD integrated into one platform

Bitbucket – Popular for integration with Jira and CI pipelines

Visual Studio Code / IntelliJ / Eclipse – Developer-friendly IDEs for productivity

💡 Best Practices:

Use branches for features, fixes, and experiments

Create pull requests (PRs) for peer reviews

Write unit tests alongside your code

Maintain a clear commit history

🔁 DevOps isn’t about silos. Developers must now collaborate closely with QA, Security, and Ops. That starts with clean, testable, and deployable code.

🛠️ Code is a team asset, not personal property. When we treat it that way, we build faster and smarter together.
