The DevOps Intervention
A tragically accurate story of what happens when an operations team and a development team are forced to work together - and the poor engineer hired to make them stop fighting. Contains strong language, questionable architecture decisions, and at least one incident involving a production database. If you have ever deployed on a Friday, argued about whose fault the outage was, or named a server, this book is about you.
What's included
- 12 chapters of tragically recognisable workplace dysfunction
- A cast of characters you have definitely worked with
- Passive-aggressive Jira ticket exchanges that hit too close to home
- A 47-step laminated deployment runbook (yes, laminated)
- At least one Friday afternoon production outage
- A server called Gerald
- Real-world "Things That Actually Happened" war stories
- Practical "Lessons from the Trenches" callouts woven into the chaos
- Printable PDF format
Who is this for?
Anyone who has ever been caught between a development team and an operations team that refuse to talk to each other. Engineers who have survived a post-mortem where "human error" was listed as the root cause. Managers who have said "digital transformation" in a meeting without being able to define it. And anyone who has ever deployed to production on a Friday afternoon and lived to regret it.
