The continuous integration/continuous delivery market has gone through many changes since DevOps came on the scene, but it remains the backbone of the DevOps toolchain. Application release automation has also joined the ranks of must-have DevOps technologies.

So where does the market stand currently and what can we expect to see in the next generation of CI/CD/ARA tools? This webinar delves into the latest in the CI/CD/ARA space and offers a glimpse at what’s to come.
