View Brand PublisherAWS Nexus DevOps Innovation Day shines the spotlight on DevOps startups
20+ shortlisted startups will present the latest Dev tools, innovations, and infrastructure to 50 unicorns and soonicorns at AWS Nexus DevOps Innovation Day hosted by AWS and Nexus Venture Partners.
In a world where customer choices change at lightning speed, where quality is king and customer experience is a kingmaker, companies must look for solutions that are simple, comprehensive and speedy. Enter DevOps - a melding of philosophies, tools and practices that can amplify a company’s ability to deliver refined services, solutions and applications swiftly and seamlessly.
By leveraging a DevOps model, development and operations teams work in tandem, or are merged together, to work across the application lifecycle. This approach brings with it a multitude of benefits, including higher velocity (allowing companies to innovate and adapt to changes faster), rapid delivery of releases and fixing of bugs, reliability, scalability, security, and more.
In recognition of this, AWS and Nexus Venture Partners are hosting the AWS Nexus DevOps Innovation day on May 28, 2022.
