Welcome back to my DevOps journey blog! Today, we'll explore the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) and the crucial role of a DevOps Engineer within it. We'll use the example of an e-commerce platform planning to add a kid’s section to illustrate these concepts.
What is SDLC?
Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) is a structured approach to the design, development, testing, and deployment of software applications. It consists of several phases:
Planning: Gathering project requirements.
Defining: Define project goals, scope, and requirements
Design: Create architectural blueprints and detailed specifications.
Development: Write and implement the code.
Testing: Validate the application against requirements.
Deployment: Release the application to production.
Role of a DevOps Engineer in SDLC
A DevOps Engineer plays a pivotal role in bridging the gap between Development and Operations teams, ensuring smooth and efficient software delivery. However, a DevOps Engineer contributes mostly on Development, Testing, and Deployment phase of the SDLC:
