Traditional development models usually siloed the development and operations teams, therefore, segregating the task that would take more time to process. To make things worse, each development and testing process had to be run, logged, and monitored manually, leading to difficult management and lag in performance.

DevOps practices enforced the utilization of automation. Technology stacks evolved to allow teams to manage the apps efficiently, and provide quality assurance. Furthermore, it improved the quality, customization, and management of on-site infrastructure.

Automation facilitates the feedback loops and permits iterative updates. With more time, scaling becomes easier, implementing new features takes minimal effort, processes get standardized, and changes are automatically addressed instantly through constant feedback.
