Top DevOps Tools for Startups in 2024: From Jenkins to Terraform

Starting and scaling a startup is hard, especially when your tech infrastructure can make or break your success. I may not be a startup founder, but as a DevOps engineer working with small teams, I know the tools that can keep your momentum going.

Here’s a list of tools I’ve helped implement in real-life environments that are perfect for startups:

  • Jenkins: Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) are key to speeding up software releases without sacrificing quality.

  • GitLab: More than just version control, it provides built-in security and automation to keep your project on track and secure.

  • Docker: Containerization is a must in today’s world. Docker simplifies deployment so your app can run anywhere.

  • Kubernetes: As your startup grows, managing infrastructure gets tricky. Kubernetes makes scaling easy without adding extra complexity.

  • Terraform: Automating your cloud infrastructure is critical for staying efficient. Terraform's infrastructure as code (IaC) is what you need to get ahead.

Whether you’re just getting started or already scaling, these tools will give your startup a competitive edge. While I’m not yet a startup founder, I’ve worked alongside tech teams and seen how these tools have empowered them to move faster and smarter.
