Platform engineering problems: can ops actually do product management?
Are you at a large organization doing platform engineering? Have you been building and/or using a platform? How are you introducing product management in your operations group? I want to test a theory that’s come up in my conversations a lot this summer: introducing product management into ops and infrastructure organizations is too difficult. It…

Platform Engineering ROI – three examples of how to do a platform engineering ROI
Creating ROI models for platform engineering is difficult. Here’s three examples of approaches I’ve come across recently. You’re trying to convince your organization to put an app platform in place (probably either buying one or building one on-top of Kubernetes), to shift your ops team to platform engineering (just after HR finally changed titles from…

DevOps Isn’t Dead, but It’s Not in Great Health Either – Round-up of surveys showing that the benefits of DevOps are flattening/slowing. Perhaps it’s not dead, it’s just had the final victory. That is: it’s much better than 15, even 10 years ago.

A Eulogy for DevOps – “Feels like somehow Developers got stuck with a lot more work and Operation teams now need to learn 600 technologies a week. Surprisingly tech executives didn’t get any additional work with this system. I’m sure the next reorg they’ll chip in more.”

60 to 100 days to onboard a developer – Highlights from the Harness State of Developer Experience survey
Today’s survey: “State of the Developer Experience 2024,” Harness/Wakefield Research. Most enterprises need to automate their build and deployment pipelines. This is more than just building code and automating tests (which 71% of people are not doing), but also automating governance and security checks (which 41% of developers are not doing). In my mind, this…

Container, DevOps, and Generative AI for Testing Usage My work sponsored an IDC paper going over ways to use generative AI (and ML) at various stages of software development (the “Application Development and Product Life-Cycle Management”). There’s some interesting ideas in there, you should check them out. As always, I like to collect the numbers…

Most developers have adopted devops, survey says – I’ll have to look at this more, but: “29% of developers used continuous integration to automatically build and test.” This means that 71% of respondents are not automating their builds and tests. // “Grady Booch first proposed the term CI in his 1991 method, although he did…

The State of Platform Engineering surveys – Perforce/Puppet 2024
When I look at recent platform engineering surveys, the results are positive: people see the value in platforms and platform groups. I’d say this is because platforms are helping speed up the app release cycle by automating a lot of the infrastructure work app developers would otherwise need to do, baking in/automating security and compliance,…

If you’re not changing tools, you’re not changing
All Talk, No Tools I like heuristics you can use to figure out what’s “really” going on at work (well, in any system, I guess). When it comes to Big Change, one of the heuristics I like to use is to ask if the organization is using new tools. My colleague Bryan Ross has a…

Backstage, Java, and remote work – three more things to watch in 2024
Here are the other three things I’m going to watch in 2024. By “watch,” I suppose I mean “I really hope something interesting and definitive happens here instead of just a continuation of what was going on in 2023.” I put the first one (our old k-friend) in yesterday’s episode.
