Thanks for the details! To clarify, I was asking about how big your organization (company) is compared to your competition, not how big your clients or the prod environments are. i.e. if you're just 1 person working in prod, I imagine that's a lot easier than 100+ people trying to avoid breaking it?

Oww apologies, we are with 5 fulltime people now. So indeed small. But we used to have almost 1000 25 years ago and it worked then as well, because we had one team per client and that would be 3-10 people.

  Ahh thanks! Yeah, I think might explain it... I imagine your competitors probably have bigger (or more) teams working for each client, and that's why they're slower and have separate environments.

    Well, the competitors by far and large are modern kool-aid drinkers and it's our huge advantage they are; they need kubernetes (so cloud) hosting, massive compile times, tons of crap (something called Clickhouse which saves terabytes of data every day that no-one needs or ever looks at; but it sounds cool to 'require' petabytes of free space for 'metrics'). We need a LAMP server or Docker instance. anyone can run our stuff in 2 seconds, no compiling, no nothing. Give us SSH and you'll be up and running, with your 1000s of colleagues ready to use the product. Modern dev is a sad affair but we thrive in it because it is what it is.
