DataOps is a new term for established methodologies
DataOps will NOT go through the classic Gartner cycle of "hype" then "disillusionment." It will go straight to the plateau of productivity.
The reason is that DataOps is not new. Let me rephrase. It is a new term for several well-established methodologies being applied to data analytics. You can't argue against lean manufacturing (statistical process control), Agile development, version control, component-based development, automated orchestration, ... DataOps is all these things put together and applied to data operations. If you focus on methodologies that you know will add value, then you can't go wrong.
