Brisbane, Australia – June 18th, 2025 – Qwoted Newswire – Octopus Deploy (Octopus), the industry standard for Continuous Delivery (CD), has announced the release of the State of GitOps Report. The report investigates the adoption, practices, and benefits of a GitOps approach. The research is based on data from 660 survey responses and interviews with a panel of experts and practitioners, including Dan Garfield, co-creator of GitOps principles.
“We are thrilled to publicly share the State of GitOps report findings. This report is the first to explore how practitioners apply GitOps concepts in the real world,” said Steve Fenton, the Director of Developer Relations at Octopus Deploy and a key researcher of the report.
The research explored various aspects of GitOps adoption and its impact, uncovering 4 key findings:
1. Better Software Delivery: High-performing GitOps teams demonstrated higher software delivery performance, as measured by the DORA 4 key metrics (change failure rate, time to recover, deployment frequency, and lead time for changes).
2. Increased Reliability: These high-performing teams also reported the best reliability records, based on user satisfaction, meeting uptime targets, and avoiding slowdowns and outages.
3. Security and Compliance: There is a clear link between GitOps maturity (how many practices teams adopt) and achieving security and compliance benefits.
4. Adoption is Increasing: Most organizations (93%) plan to continue or increase their GitOps adoption, indicating strong confidence in the approach.

Research findings will be discussed during the webinar “The State of GitOps 2025: Key findings and what they mean to you” taking place on June 17, 2025. To register, visit: https://streamyard.com/watch/EMhCRDUhg2u7
