Which Copado product are you currently using?

Copado CI/CD

What do you enjoy most about the Community and connecting with others?

I enjoy being active in the community and seeing how everyone is willing to help each other to grow in their DevOps Journey.

If you could offer advice to Copado customers and community members on how to be successful with Copado, what would you advise?

For anyone using Copado, take one step at a time, analyze the problem first instead of looking for immediate solution. For the community members, there is a lot to learn from each other, be Proactive in your Learning and do not hesitate to ask any questions.

How has growing in how you use Copado / understand devops impacted your organization and your day to day work?

We came a long way using Copado, from the traditional way to DevOps and now elevating the process to DevSecOps. By sticking to the process we are making sure our Release Days are Obsolete!
