An effective software development process in an IT company involves a single interaction cycle between development, operation, and deployment. Today, most new software products work in the cloud, so instead of writing applications from scratch, specialists use microservice architecture, services provided by the cloud, and the ready-made software modules to solve specific problems.
A DevOps engineer is an actual "constructor" who collects project's details into a single whole. DevOps philosophy implies the logic of software delivery as a finished product, focused on solving specific problems of the customer and end users.
