The State of GitOps report

by Steve Fenton (Research Lead), Bob Walker (Contributor), Dan Garfield (Contributor)

The State of GitOps report investigates the adoption, practices, and benefits of a GitOps approach. Our research is based on data from 660 survey responses and interviews with a panel of experts and practitioners.

This is the first report to look at GitOps in depth, and we're excited to share what we've learned.

Inside you'll find:

- Adoption is increasing

GitOps adoption is on the rise, and most organizations plan to sustain or increase their use of GitOps.

-GitOps is linked to better software outcomes

Teams with the most mature GitOps practices are more likely to exhibit higher software delivery performance and reliability.

- Automatic reconciliation is less adopted but crucial

Organizations are hesitating with automatic reconciliation, but those who miss this practice get fewer benefits from GitOps.

- Good GitOps

The report contains everything you need to understand what good GitOps looks like and how each practice is linked to desirable results.
