The challenge
The Continuous Delivery (CD) Foundation approached SlashData to gain a deeper of the current adoption rates of DevOps practices. Their goal was to explore the impact of DevOps on development velocity and performance while assessing the role of CD tools and practices in driving efficiency and success.
The approach
Using data from SlashData’s syndicated developer survey, we collaborated with the CD Foundation to align the research with their strategic priorities for the upcoming year. SlashData’s long-running survey provided access to historical data trends spanning several years, enabling the CD Foundation to benchmark current adoption rates and identify year-over-year changes in DevOps practices. The result was a tailored analysis focused on uncovering actionable insights into CI/CD usage and its impact.
The result
SlashData delivered the 5th edition of the State of CI/CD report, a public report marketed by the CD Foundation and SlashData in Q2 2024. The report highlighted key trends contributing to low DevOps adoption rates among newer developers, a clear link between the usage of a broad range of DevOps technologies and improved developer performance, and a correlation between the usage of CI/CD and great development and deployment performance.
