DevOps and Infrastructure Automation Maturity Gaps
Definition
Many SMB development firms lack mature DevOps practices and infrastructure automation, causing deployment problems, downtime, and inefficiency. The problem: (1) manual deployment processes are error-prone and time-consuming; (2) lack of CI/CD pipeline causes slow release cycles and testing gaps; (3) infrastructure as code not implemented, causing configuration drift and reproducibility issues; (4) monitoring and alerting insufficient, leading to undetected production issues; (5) disaster recovery and backup procedures inadequate or untested; (6) no Infrastructure-as-Code expertise, making cloud migration and scaling difficult; (7) operations overhead from manual processes reduces development capacity. DevOps maturity directly affects deployment frequency, reliability, and cost efficiency.
