FRAMINGHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--International Data Corporation (IDC) today published an IDC Innovators report identifying three technology providers that are considered key emerging vendors in the agile code development market. The three companies named as IDC Innovators are CloudBees Inc., GitLab Inc., and Sonatype, Inc.
Embracing a DevOps practice means an organization must dramatically accelerate its development practices, moving from a classic monolithic software design model to a more modular design point with clear delineations between software components. This approach allows organizations to life-cycle each portion of code individually, leading to a more rapid update process that can be measured in weeks, days, or even potentially in hours. Part of the agile development process means creating an end-to-end tool chain that may be based on a single solution but will usually incorporate technologies from a variety of other vendors and open source software projects. The IDC Innovators discussed in this IDC Innovators document are key players in an end-to-end DevOps tool chain.
"There are a remarkable number of startups in the overall DevOps space, with many of those companies on the development side providing agile development tools and technologies," said Al Gillen, group vice president, Software Development and Open Source Software. "The companies profiled here help their customers become more agile in the overall development process. We expect most of the technologies being produced by these companies to play a long-term role in the industry."
CloudBees offers enterprise-grade continuous delivery software services based on the open source Jenkins technology. GitLab offers a full DevOps lifecycle in a continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) solution that is available in a variety of deployment form factors. Sonatype's product portfolio allows customers to define open source component policies by organization, team, and application type.
The report, IDC Innovators: Agile Code Development Technologies 2018 (IDC #US43675318), profiles three emerging technology providers offering agile code development technologies.
