Like Dr Keys received funding from the sugar industry in his research - in many investigations, it’s important to follow the money to understand where incentives lie. The DORA team originally started doing State of DevOps reports for Puppet, a company focussed on automating IT infrastructure and now they do this work for Google Cloud. Both have a vested interest in developers being able to deploy work as quickly as possible. This does not mean however that it is the solution to all our problems.

2nd place goes to:

Discover tofuenv for OpenTofu: install and use it for adding, changing, and uninstalling OpenTofu versions with practical examples.

And in 3rd place, we have:

Kubernetes operators are a powerful tool for simplifying and automating the management of your Kubernetes applications. Whether you're dealing with monitoring, storage, secrets management, or distributed tracing, there's likely a Kubernetes operator that can make your life easier.

Congratulations once again to all our winners. Thank you for your hard work!
