DevOps has been a valuable software development methodology for more than a decade, and its impact continues to have a transformative effect on organizations that implement DevOps successfully. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While those organizations are still few in number<\/a>, WP Engine was recently highlighted as one of them, winning a Google Cloud DevOps Award<\/a>\u2014the first of its kind\u2014for the implementation of DevOps practices in its Catalyst Software Delivery Platform (SDP), an internal product that serves as the foundation for a high-velocity, reliable product development, and release process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The SDP, which is built and maintained by WP Engine engineers on Team Catalyst, provides application development teams across the company with a solid framework for developing and releasing code. The aim of the platform is to reduce operational burden and cognitive load while significantly improving service observability and speed of delivery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The team and the platform have been prolific since its launch last year, onboarding more than 27 applications and services, with new teams and products adding to that list every few weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is an incredible example of our teams emboldening builders both internally and externally to make sure we have the best tools to serve our customers,\u201d said WP Engine SVP of Global Engineering Ramadass Prabhakar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe recognition for these efforts at Google Cloud\u2019s first-ever DevOps Awards is truly icing on the cake, and it\u2019s a great call-out for a tool we\u2019ve only just begun to reap the rewards from.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Check out the video below to learn more: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
