DevOps in 2026: GitOps, Platform Engineering, and Beyond

The DevOps landscape has shifted dramatically toward platform engineering and GitOps workflows. This article explores the tools and practices defining modern infrastructure management.

Infrastructure as Code with Pulumi

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";
import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes";

// Create EKS cluster
const cluster = new aws.eks.Cluster("codeforge-cluster", {
    roleArn: clusterRole.arn,
    vpcConfig: {
        subnetIds: vpc.privateSubnetIds,
        securityGroupIds: [securityGroup.id],
    },
    version: "1.29",
});

// Deploy application
const app = new k8s.apps.v1.Deployment("codeforge-app", {
    metadata: { name: "codeforge", namespace: "production" },
    spec: {
        replicas: 3,
        selector: { matchLabels: { app: "codeforge" } },
        template: {
            metadata: { labels: { app: "codeforge" } },
            spec: {
                containers: [{
                    name: "app",
                    image: "codeforge/api:latest",
                    ports: [{ containerPort: 8080 }],
                    resources: {
                        requests: { cpu: "250m", memory: "512Mi" },
                        limits: { cpu: "1000m", memory: "1Gi" },
