Description: The development skills necessary for the effective use of cloud-based development platforms are fundamental to optimizing the software development lifecycle. These platforms provide a set of tools for planning, developing, delivering, and monitoring applications. These skills range from understanding agile methodologies, such as Scrum and Kanban, to mastering specific tools for version control, continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD), and project management. Developers must be able to integrate their workflows with these tools to facilitate collaboration among teams, manage source code, and automate deployment processes. Additionally, knowledge of version management, automated testing, and application monitoring is crucial, allowing teams to respond quickly to changes and improve software quality. In a modern development environment, these skills not only increase efficiency but also foster a culture of continuous improvement and adaptation to market needs.
