Is DevOps Only for Startups?!

Although you hear many DevOps Transformation success stories from startups, DevOps serves industries of all sizes. Yep! It’s one size fits all :)

Unicorns like Google, Amazon, Netflix, & Etsy have, at some point in their history, risked going out of business because of the problems associated with more traditional “horse” organizations.

However, each of these organizations has analyzed the gaps, planned & went onto transforming their architecture, technical practices, and culture to create the fantastic outcomes that we associate with DevOps.

Some of these companies have gone beyond just adopting DevOps Transformation and brought in great value adds to DevOps. For example, Google contributed Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) to the DevOps Universe while Netflix brought in the crazy production testing concept codenamed Chaos Engineering!

So, DevOps Transformation is just not for startups alone! Anyone who’s into the Digital Product Space needs DevOps Transformation to ensure their product is delivered to their end customers quickly, secure & reliable.
