New Reports Available from Armory
Armory recently partnered with Gartner Peer Insights on three new reports about the state of deployment practices. Together we surveyed 400 professionals in engineering and operations to learn about their current practices, priorities and pain points throughout the software development and deployment lifecycle.
Unsurprisingly (to us, anyway) 82% of IT leaders answered that reliable deployment was their top app development and deployment priority.

Check out each of these reports below to see what else the respondents had to say, or learn more about our findings in this press release.
