How we killed DevOps by creating a dedicated DevOps team

Adam Nowak from Netguru’s DevOpsCon session discusses the challenges that his team faced when they did not have a dedicated Ops role among a team of developers.

“Back in time, there were only developers in our company and we didn’t have a dedicated Ops role. However, we’ve decided to change this and that’s how we’ve entered a very dangerous path with a lot of technical, people and culture related obstacles. This is a story about money, expectations, tickets, sweat, and long hours put to make everybody happy. I hope you’ll learn a lot from the real scenarios which we’ve encountered and the way we handled them. Most of all, I hope you won’t wake up one day and realise that there’s a team in your organisation which takes your focus and energy in the wrong direction.”
