# CHAPTER 2
The History
Started in 2016, we had no idea what we were doing. Clint was installing things in prod at meetups at this time. 6 companies and iterations later...
Workfront with kops,
then EKS, AKS, GKE, Oracle Cloud, and Linode's LKE
All evaluated as Cloud Native

2020, after a
discussion in
Forge Utah slack
# CHAPTER 2
Principles
- Git is the Workflow
- Metrics > Logs > Shelling
- We are Not Special
- Separation of Concerns
- SemVer Everywhere!
- Boldly Delete Everything but PVCs
- One place for alerts (one exception)
Git is the Workflow
- git clone
- git checkout -b my-branch
- work
- git commit, go back to 3 until done
- git push
- make PR
- approval from someone else (hopefully)
- merge to trunk, git checkout trunk, go back to 2
