2025 DevOps Predictions

December 16, 2024 – Published on DEVOPSdigest

As part of DEVOPSdigest’s annual list of DevOps predictions, industry experts — from analysts and consultants to the top vendors — offer thoughtful, insightful, and often controversial predictions on how DevOps and development technologies will evolve in 2025.

Some of these predictions may come true in the next 12 months, while others may be just as valid but take several years to be realized. Still others may be wishful thinking or unbased fears. Some predictions even directly contradict each other. But taken collectively, this list of predictions offers a timely and detailed snapshot of what the IT industry and the DevOps market are thinking about, planning, expecting and hoping for 2025.

DEVOPSdigest already presented a series of predictions about how AI will impact the software development life cycle (SDLC) in 2025 and beyond. Now DEVOPSdigest is publishing additional predictions about DevOps and development. Here are predictions from top DevOps experts, including GuidePoint Security’s Tristan Stahnke, Principal Application Security Consultant.

“DevOps orchestration represents a significant evolution in deployment automation,” Tristan shared. “By leveraging machine learning algorithms, these systems will analyze deployment patterns, infrastructure usage, and application behavior to make autonomous decisions about resource allocation and deployment strategies. This advancement will reduce human intervention in routine operations while improving reliability and efficiency.”

Stahnke also predicts that DevOps Assembly Lines will transform how organizations build and maintain deployment pipelines. “These intelligent systems will automatically understand application architectures, dependencies, and security requirements to generate optimized CI/CD pipelines,” he said. “This automation will significantly reduce pipeline setup time and ensure consistent implementation of best practices across projects.”
