Cloud Applications Market Growth Drivers: What’s Behind The Acceleration?
The expansion of DevOps toolchain implementation is anticipated to boost the cloud application market. These toolchains represent collections of integrated tools and methods employed within DevOps practices to automate and optimize software development, testing, deployment, and monitoring. They automate various parts of the software development lifecycle, extending from code integration to final deployment, thereby accelerating the creation and release of cloud applications. The inherent automation capabilities of DevOps tools facilitate quick deployment and updates for cloud applications, effectively shortening time-to-market and enhancing responsiveness to customer needs. This increased efficiency makes cloud applications more appealing to businesses. For example, in January 2023, the US-based technology training firm InfoSec Institute reported that by 2023, 60% of companies would integrate infrastructure automation into their DevOps toolchains, thereby increasing application deployment efficiency by 25%. Consequently, the increasing adoption of DevOps toolchains is fueling the expansion of the cloud application market.
