App-Centric Engineering Framework: Integrating DevOps, CloudOps, and DataOps to Orchestrate Application Success

This IDC Market Perspective discusses the app-centric engineering framework, which integrates DevOps, CloudOps, and DataOps to orchestrate application success. Applications are the lifeblood of digital organizations. At the same time, IT environments are more complex, diverse, and siloed than ever before. An app-centric engineering framework is an approach to break down silos between DevOps, CloudOps, and DataOps to ensure applications deliver their desired business outcomes while minimizing IT risks, redundancies, and overheads."An app-centric engineering framework heralds a new era of collaboration, synergies, and integration for application success and resilience," said Archana Venkatraman, research director, CloudOps and Cloud Data Management, IDC. "By integrating multiple Ops principles into an engineering foundation, organizations can enhance developer productivity, optimize costs, and ensure applications are resilient by design. Technology suppliers that facilitate this are likely to emerge as strategic tech partners."
