How to reduce your devops tool sprawl
After spending the last decade investing in devops, many companies are experiencing a hangover of sorts: tool sprawl. While their software delivery processes have become more streamlined, more efficient, and more reliable, they also have many more tools to license, maintain, and manage.
Tool sprawl is often seen as a natural result of the flexibility and empowerment of dev teams to choose their own tools, but organizations now understand the need for a single, streamlined system. While flexibility to choose the right tool for the job has enabled teams to move quickly, the result is a complex web of systems and processes to deliver software.
