Modern DevOps for Embedded Software

Embedded software has become exponentially more complex, yet many development and deployment practices haven't kept pace. Manual handoffs, inconsistent build environments, hardware dependencies, and risky deployment processes make it difficult for embedded teams to deliver software quickly and reliably.

In this technical demo, you'll learn how to apply modern DevOps practices to embedded software development using GitLab. Discover how to standardize development workflows, automate testing with hardware-in-the-loop, and build CI/CD pipelines that improve collaboration, reduce deployment risk, and accelerate delivery without sacrificing quality.

In this webcast, you'll learn...

• Build scalable Git workflows tailored for embedded software development.
• Create reproducible build environments that eliminate "works on my machine" issues.
• Automate firmware builds, testing, and validation with CI/CD pipelines.
• Integrate hardware-in-the-loop testing into your development workflow.
• Deploy firmware more safely with modern release and deployment strategies.
• Apply proven DevOps practices from cloud development where they make sense, and understand what needs to be adapted for embedded systems.
