Low-code DevOps global leader Copado announced new milestones for the company this week. The company has certified over 20,000 DevOps professionals and 35,000 DevOps specialists in the Salesforce Ecosystem.

The company is on a growth streak and will require additional personnel in the coming years. Specialists in low-code administration, security, DevOps, and DevSecOps are areas where many expect the company will focus their hiring efforts. With Copado training and upskilling more workers, the company should be able to fill the gaps.
Ashley Dodge, vice president of community at Copado, stated,
“Now more than ever, businesses are focused on how to enable employees and support customers digitally while defending against more security threats, yet finding the talent they need has never been more challenging.”
To mark the milestone and continue their momentum, Copado is launching a Copaverse Roadshow that will stop in seven cities around the world. The company will use the roadshow to educate and inspire Salesforce development teams on DevOps.
