Agile development teams must ensure that microservices, applications, and databases are observable, have monitoring in place to identify operational issues, and use AIops to correlate alerts into manageable incidents. When users and business stakeholders want enhancements, many devops teams follow agile methodologies to process feedback and deploy new versions.
Even if there are few requests, devops teams know they must upgrade apps and patch underlying components; otherwise, the software developed today will become tomorrow’s technical debt.
