DevOps... culture?

Effects of DevOps
 

The adoption of DevOps culture, tools and agile engineering practices has, among other things, the nice effect of increasing the collaboration between the roles of development and operations. One of the main problems of the past (but also today in some realities) is that the dev team tended to be uninterested in the operation and maintenance of a system once it was handed over to the ops team, while the latter tended to be not really aware of the system’s business goals and, therefore, reluctant in satisfying the operational needs of the system (also referred to as “whims of developers”).

But what if...

HOW?

WE ARE ALL IN THE SAME 🚢

(oh ship!) 

WE DON'T HAVE TO BE THE SAME TO BE ONE 

Whatever performance not informed and not measured, doesn't exist. 

From the technical perspective...

It's all about the feedback...

  • DevOps is about... faster time to feedback
  • design and automate pipelines to improve the quality of our deliveries
  • design our code to gain insight around performance and usage
  • design our services to identify how we can drive the most value for  customers && business

Collect data, perform analytics against that data, and tune it over time to achieve improvements in usage!!

  • predictive maintenance (based on actual usage characteristics)
  • improve (performance, app) to improve the quality of the service
  • modify performance based on customers' unique needs and actions.

 

  • Is your update around customer satisfaction, engagement, or something else? How do you measure the effect of this update?
  • Is it through the increase in consumption of a service, reduction in support calls, or some other metric?
  • Identify the reason!
  • Establish a way to capture insights
  • FEEDBACK LOOP - DELIVER

 

FEEDBACK === Faster and better enhancements/updates/repairs

SOME SHOCKERS 🤟🏼
