Query: “What are the most common pain points with DevOps for developers in 2025?”4/9/2026

Security challenges include: Expanded attack surface: Every microservice and API interaction creates a potential entry point for attackers. CI/CD pipeline vulnerabilities: Security lapses can occur anywhere during build, test, or deployment stages, risking compromised software releases. Shadow APIs and services: Untracked or unmanaged endpoints increase the risk of breaches.
