Let's cut straight through the bullshit: if you're an engineer working in a company that deals with sensitive data or operates in a regulated industry, you've probably rolled your eyes at the mention of "compliance" more times than you can count. SOC2, ISO27001, HIPAA, GDPR – these acronyms often feel like speed bumps on the highway of rapid development and deployment.
But here's the kicker: DevOps and compliance aren't natural enemies. In fact, when done right, they're powerful allies that can supercharge your software development process and keep your ass out of regulatory hot water. So buckle up, because we're about to dive into how you can make DevOps and compliance work together without sacrificing your sanity or your velocity.
