Understanding the entire lifecycle of a service (from development to production) is a must for a developer. But it should not be the primary objective of the developer to deliver the service; developers should be working on development. When developers are in charge of delivering a service, they will end up spending most, if not all, of their time debugging operational issues instead of improving the service. This problem gets worse over time as the service will need to be deployed to more places to address scale. An organization with good technical leadership should know this.
