Why is DevOps necessary for startups? 

Before Agile methodology took over the IT industry world, development and IT operations teams had worked in separate silos and rarely collaborated within one project. Since Agile methodology and later DevOps philosophy was implemented, developers and IT operations teams have been working hand in hand on one product.

Infrastructure optimization is needed to ensure top-notch efficiency of operations and ongoing startup software development. DevOps service providers will design and implement cloud infrastructure at any scale, supporting products and workflows from various industries.
