How to reduce your devops tool sprawl

DevOps teams need to start consolidating their tools to reduce complexity, improve security, and enhance efficiency. Three areas ripe for consolidation include application security tooling, package and artifact management and storage, and systems and data monitoring. A single platform can help connect and integrate solutions in the newly consolidated tech stack. Tool sprawl is a natural result of dev teams choosing their own tools, but organizations now understand the need for a single, streamlined system.
