As of the first quarter of 2024, 83% of developers were involved in devops-related activities such as performance monitoring, security testing, or CI/CD, according to the State of CI/CD Report 2024, published by the Continuous Delivery (CD) Foundation, a part of the Linux Foundation.
Released April 16, the State of CI/CD Report 2024 is downloadable from the CD Foundation, authored by developer researcher SlashData, and sponsored by CloudBees, provider of a DevSecOps platform.
The report also found that less-experienced developers adopt fewer devops practices and technologies, which correlates to lower deployment performance across all DORA (DevOps Research Assessment) metrics.
The findings in the report were based on eight previous SlashData Developer Nation surveys that reached more than 150,000 respondents worldwide between the third quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2024.
The Continuous Delivery Foundation serves as a vendor-neutral home of projects for CI/CD, the report said. The organization fosters vendor-neutral collaboration between top developers, users, and vendors to further CI/CD best practices and industry specifications.
