DevOps Tools for Java Developers

Preface

This book was written in a time of immense change as the world was thrown upside down by the largest pandemic in a century. However, this work was never needed more as the software industry embraced DevOps and cloud native development to handle the accelerated pace of software delivery.

We organized this book so that the topics are in an incremental order of lifecycle, complexity, and maturity. However, DevOps is a broad enough journey that you may find some chapters more relevant than others for your project needs. As a result, we designed the chapters so that you can start in any order and focus on a particular subject for which you need expertise, examples, and best practices to advance your knowledge.

We hope you enjoy reading this title as much as we have enjoyed putting the content together. Our one ask is that you share your newfound knowledge with a friend or colleague so that we can all become better developers.
