IMPLEMENTING SECURE DEVOPS PRACTICES IN MONOLITHIC AND MICROSERVICES ARCHITECTURES

<p>This paper will investigate the effectiveness of secure DevOps practices in the microservice and monolithic architecture. DevOps incorporates development, security and operations to increase the software delivery quality and speed.  This study aims to explore the distinctive security solutions and challenges for each architecture by focusing on the different practices and tools such as CI/CD containerization and automated security testing. This study collected secondary qualitative data. The f indings show that while the monolithic architecture benefits from simpler security management, the microservice provides better flexibility and scalability. </p>
