DevOps is a set of practices that combines software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops). It enables continuous delivery of applications and software while reducing the disconnection between software developers, quality assurance (QA), engineers and system administrators.
It is important because it's a software development and operations approach that enables faster development of new products, easier maintenance of existing deployments and errors can be fixed at the initial development stage.
- Shorter development cycles and faster innovation.
- Reduced deployment failures, rollbacks and time to recover.
- Better communication and cooperation.
- Increased efficiency.
- Reduced costs and IT headcount.

How can RainyDay Backup help?
RainyDay Backup is an easily configurable system which enables you to back up your source code, Work items and NuGet artifacts, providing you with peace of mind that your source code and valuable work are securely backed up.
Our system does this by capturing regular snapshots of your Azure DevOps system (Cloud or On-Premises). It also allows you to schedule hourly, daily, weekly or monthly backups for your organisation.
RainyDay Backup helps protect valuable software development from accidental deletion, overwriting, archiving, roll-back and hacking threats as well as helping you to implement a secure backup and disaster recovery strategy.
