A DevOps toolchain is a set of digital tools used to perform complex software delivery tasks. The tools in the toolchain are usually executed one after the other, with one tool’s output being the input for the next tool.

This is why standardization of these tools is really important. Above all, DevOps toolchains should improve collaboration between developers, automate any necessary tasks, and enable more quality software. At the same time provide observability over the infrastructure and applications.

Seamless integration between tools can be really hard to accomplish. Especially if you don’t have years of experience in the DevOps field. For instance, each tool has its own specific capabilities and syntax. Resolving gaps, overlaps, and dependencies between tools is a cumbersome task. This is also known as tool sprawl. Using a lot of tools can be heavy on your cost management. It can dry up the budget that you can use to address innovation opportunities for your business.
