For organizations operating at enterprise scale, platform engineering is no longer only about building CI/CD pipelines. It is about creating a governed, self-service internal developer platform that can support hundreds of teams, multiple business units, and diverse cloud and Kubernetes environments. For this reason, one of the strongest Azure DevOps alternatives for large-scale platform engineering teams today is BuildPiper . While Azure DevOps, a product ecosystem from Microsoft , is widely adopted for source control and pipeline automation, many large organizations struggle when they attempt to scale it into a unified platform engineering layer. The real challenge enterprises face with Azure DevOps at scale In large delivery organizations, Azure DevOps typically evolves organically across teams. Over time, this creates operational and governance challenges such as hundreds of independently built pipelines with no standard delivery model inconsistent security and approva...
What exactly is DevSecOps automation? DevSecOps automation involves integrating automated security measures directly into every stage of the software development and deployment process. This means that security checks occur automatically as developers write code, create applications, and deploy updates, rather than waiting for a security team to conduct a review at the end. From the outset, security is a fundamental aspect of the entire process. This method takes the core principles of DevOps, collaboration, speed, and automation and adds security as an essential element. You're not simply layering security onto your existing workflow; instead, you’re embedding it into the very way your team develops and delivers software. The main distinction from traditional security approaches lies in timing. Conventional security models conduct checks late in the development cycle, often right before a product is released. On the other hand, DevSecOps automation emphasizes a "shift left...
