The software supply chain today runs differently than it did just five years ago. The number of available tools, languages, and packages used have exploded. Further, the growing mix of OSS packages puts organizations at risk of outdated software, untracked dependencies, and non-compliant licenses. To add to the chaos, teams are now increasingly distributed and greater in number. All of this dramatically increases the number of inputs within the software supply chain.

DevOps is more than just a buzzword and the dev behind the magic is more than just a tech wizard who orchestrates software delivery single-handedly. Behind the curtains is an assembly line of toolchains that makes DevOps possible. 44% of DevOps teams use between 2-5 tools, with 41% using 6-10 tools. High-performing teams also tend to use more tools, resulting in faster deployment cycles and delivering multiple times a month.
