There is a lot of talk about devops these days, particularly how it’s a Trojan horse for slower IT shops that have struggled to digitize at a fast-enough pace. But at what cost do you place speed over upholding the integrity and soundness of your software?
I recently spoke on a panel at the MIT CIO Symposium called Running IT Like a Factory. One of my co-panelists, the CIO of a major bank, talked a lot about cloud-native companies, and how Netflix does 3,000 releases per month and Amazon does 11,000 releases per year. He also referenced the robustness of AWS and how companies like this can create a ton of value very quickly.
