- Issues Around Scaling DevOps:
“Some of the most common scaling issues related to personnel and culture. Personnel is one of the biggest challenges due to the current employment market conditions. It is extremely difficult to recruit, hire, and retain talented DevOps practitioners. The other issue is culture. Since effectively scaling anything involves changes, it is human nature to resist. Explaining the “why” in a way where everyone gets it will make execution easier.”
- How DevOps Scales:
“The foundation of an effective DevOps strategy is the CI/CD pipeline. As an organization evolves and grows, oftentimes CI/CD infrastructure gets neglected and becomes a bigger issue down the road when scaling is needed. It is important to scale and evolve the CI/CD as the organization matures. We’ve had to continuously evolve our CI/CD as the teams grew. The changes have been in the form of improvement to the availability, robustness, and ease of use of the CI/CD tools for new and existing developers alike.”
