I think it is due to cynical takes like this that the industry is evolving towards “Use whatever you want, so long as you are open to being on-call for it yourself. Or you can use this Platform maintained by other people.”
Nothing sucks as much as being woken up by pages because some new, shiny, and untested piece of technology was used in production and broke in an unknown way.
- pram 5y agoThen the team who made their own platform hire DevOps and SRE to janitor what they created because it's spiraling out of control, and now you have another platform! It's the circle of IT life.
- CSDude 5y agoWhat's cynical about it? If the platform team is on the way it becomes a problem. And going to be on-call is way to go if you want to have actual ownership, or it becomes to same dev and ops people split. There is not an exact line. Platform team can easily abstract (i.e) Kubernetes deployment infrastructure, but not everything else that you might be needing.
