I prefer to blur the lines and work with cross functional teams where everyone owns everything. On my current team our front end engineer is able to fix infra, our backend engineer designs and deploys infra. No dedicate devops needed. We use TypeScript for everything: AWS CDK, TypeScript backend, React (TypeScript) for frontend. These are relatively small systems though.
- clouded 4y agoThat sounds really fun, because it's not enough to absolutely fry my brain every day fixing obscure bugs or developing new features. I'd like to also fix the infrastructure. I might also be able to handle the responsibilities of a DBA. My wife and newborn son will understand why I can't stop working until at least 7 pm everyday and yell at them because the stress never stops and only seems to be getting worse.
- oweiler 4y agoThat is not a crossfunctional team.
- CommanderData 4y agoSounds great making developers do operations. I hope they enjoy the anxiety of being on pager duty 24/7 too. What a way to burn out your devs to save a buck.
