Being experienced startup folks we are not scared of bleeding edge tech.
For instance, in 2005 we made the jump to virtual machines when most
companies hadn't even heard of virtualization, in order to create our cloud
platform, AppLogic. This time around we were already very familiar with
containers, including many of the limitations, and believed they offered a
lot of advantages in speed and cost so we decided to go with Docker running
on AWS.
Our engineers have written a lot of apps including both interactive user apps
and infrastructure level services and we're pretty adept at creating
stateless systems where that's possible. Unfortunately, some of the third
party software we needed to use, especially open source, wasn't written with
stateless in mind.
For us combining Dev and Ops wasn't a choice, but a necessity. We couldn't
afford another hire to run ops. N... (more)

Imagine that you have hundreds of development, testing, and operations teams spread across the globe that rely on each other to execute software testing. You have 245 test environments and you release to pre-production several times a day and deploy to production once a week. How do you manage all the software tests, test data, and test environments? Traditionally, the answer would be to fill out spreadsheets or siloed tools, send emails, and hope that everything and everyone is ready at each st...

DevOps is often described as a combination of technology and culture. Without both, DevOps isn't complete. However, applying the culture to outdated technology is a recipe for disaster; as response times grow and connections between teams are delayed by technology, the culture will die.

Most DevOps journeys involve several phases of maturity.

In a digital world that moves as fast as ours, programmers are applying new, creative ways of thinking to the software development process in a non-stop push for ever-faster turnaround times. In DevOps, Continuous Integration (CI) is increasingly the integration method of choice, in large part because of the speed at which it enables the release of new features, bug fixes, and product updates.
