Which DevOps platforms offer the best integration with popular version control systems?

The abstract should be corrected to say that codebase integrity is important for software development environments in general (not just fast paced environments). VCS have a long way from being just code repositories. They provide the following - A mechanism to streamline updates to monolithic codebases - A place to conduct code reviews - A foundation to manage multiple features development - A launchpad towards building cloud delivery pipelines - A platform to foster healthy discussions around improvements VCS can be helpful assisting enterprises in their journey to achieve compliance goals (12F being one of them). Although, such support can be made optional.

Almost all established DevOps platforms integrate with different version control systems, including Devtron.ai. The DevOps platform will not be successful without integration with VCS because it has to fulfil following requirements: 1) Streamline development workflow (branching and merging, rollback capability) 2) Improve code quality and reliability (version history, automated test integration, CI/CD) 3) Visibility and transparency (audit trail, internal collaboration)

In the development lifecycle, there are typically two school to thoughts: #1) Developers should focus only on code, and Ops should build, deploy, and manage Day 2 operations. #2) Developers should build, deploy, and debug with assistance from Ops For #1: Time to market is higher, effort is higher, and hence cost is higher. Friction increases between Dev and Ops teams. This is driven by the culture of the organisation. If the organization needs agility and scalability then they should adopt #2. This requires a culture / mindset shift, which takes time. There are practices within organizations where every environment has a different version of the same application, this duplicates or triplicates the effort of developers and operations team.

VCS serves as the central source of truth for your codebase. DevOps tools should automatically pull code changes from the VCS and trigger the CI/CD pipeline, ensuring a smooth and continuous flow from development to deployment. While working with docker container workloads, then Devtron.ai takes care of build, deploy, and debug under one single tool. At the same time, it enables integration with existing tools (CI, Monitoring, etc) to reduce friction.

Tools like Devtron.ai abstracts underlying complexities. If a person does not know how to use ArgoCD, the deploy should be seamless without setting up the lower layers. Container images should be pushed into the repos without any extra effort. Secrets should be kept as secrets.
