As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to revolutionise industries, it’s becoming increasingly clear that DevOps is essential for unlocking its full potential. Here are some eye-opening statistics that demonstrate why:
- According to IDC, global IoT spending is projected to reach $1.1 trillion by 2023.
- A recent survey by Forrester found that 58% of businesses are already using IoT or plan to within the next year.
- Another survey by Bain & Company found that IoT adopters are seeing an average ROI of 15%.
So, what makes DevOps so crucial for IoT success?
Firstly, DevOps allows for faster and more efficient development, testing, and deployment of IoT solutions. This is critical for staying ahead of the competition and meeting the demands of a rapidly evolving market.
Secondly, DevOps provides the tools and processes needed to manage the complexity of IoT systems, including the ability to monitor and analyse data in real-time. This is essential for ensuring the reliability and security of IoT solutions.
Finally, DevOps enables organisations to scale their IoT deployments with ease, ensuring they can meet the needs of a growing user base without sacrificing performance or reliability.
Some more statistics that demonstrate the importance of DevOps for IoT:
- According to Gartner, through 2023, the biggest challenge to IoT adoption will be a lack of scalable and sustainable solutions, which DevOps practices can help address.
- A survey by Electric Cloud found that companies that adopt DevOps practices for IoT are twice as likely to report high levels of success than those that don't.
- In a study by Puppet, high-performing DevOps organizations are shown to deploy code 46 times more frequently and have 440 times faster lead time from code commit to deployment than low-performing organizations.
These numbers illustrate that DevOps is not just important for IoT, but it's also a key differentiator for businesses looking to stay competitive and succeed in the rapidly evolving IoT landscape.
