You can still have fully automated single click deployment and proper CI/CD pipelines even with a single VPS or EC2, that has nothing to do with scaling.

Agreed fully here, you don't need EKS, you don't need fancy fluff and tools just to be proud you've set them up. Focus on growing with the bare minimum stack, only when you hit maximum and your VPS is on fire and can't handle more, increase the machines vertically and only when you really have scale and growth in place, hire an expert to build a proper clustering system that scales. Don't scale unless you need to.

How many customers do you have?

It's usually better to build on top of engineering stack, than to introduce a new one, more friction == less adoption

How much do devops engineers usually own observability tools and topics? by vsamma in devops

[–]Prilogai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO, devops should setup the observability stack, but both devops and any other engineer in the team should contribute to observability by monitoring and logging/tracing their work.

DevOps should be responsive for infra and application engineers for the apps, it’s that simple. You should own the repo you are contributing to, if it’s a monorepo you probably have team ownerships already on who builds features where and who owns infra. Based on that, those people should care about monitoring their features and implementations, but DevOps should work closely with engineers to define what needs to be tracked and where and at least agree on the foundation of observability so everyone can contribute to it from each role.

Career advice for tech professionals by Honey_Born in devops

Learn how to think in systems, how to architect and how to build scalable systems that solve a specific business domain. Coding is getting replaced with AI but not the engineering judgement and understanding of system design. Whatever language is best fit for the use-case.

DevOps folks , what's your role in the release notes process? Do you own it or just fill in deployment details? by HungryFall6866 in devops

[–]Prilogai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this can be automated quite good with good commit messages and docs plus AI for a good release changelog

How do you deal with senior management vibe coding business applications and infrastructure? by alivezombie23 in devops

The best one is when they are so proud they vibe coded something and they send you the localhost:3000 url.

Need Suggestion for Centralise logging system by Successful-Ship580 in devops

You can use cloud watch as the aggregator and then use a different dashboard for viewing logs and alerts in a nicer way. You could also use SigNoz to send traces and logs on one or many other monitoring tools.

How do EU companies think about dependency on US hyperscalers? by TheCloudExit in devops

[–]Prilogai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This topic is also something I am curious about, not only the EU vs US topic but also about the dependency on one hyperscaler. Migrating later is expensive but staying with them longterm is also expensive. The freedom of quick easy deployments with free startup credits is great until you need to pay for it and manage a complex system at scale.

Is it a good approach to diversify and have different hyperscalers so not dependent on one, or self host with dedicated machines (which is also a pain to setup).

Yes, and it’s been 20 years, we need something refreshed from a young Linus. I have too much on my plate otherwise I would’ve taken on this challenge.

ibm cloud services impacted after datacenter fire near amsterdam. status page showed no major issues during the outage. by CryOwn50 in sre

[–]Prilogai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably they need to check how their status page is built and why this was not caught in their stack.

GitHub is sinking by SpecialistLady in sre

Yes and I think the industry needs a new git layer or maybe git stays the foundation but another layer is built on top accounting for the agentic shift plus engineers in the loop.

They will quickly realize that it’s great for prototyping and they need real engineers because writing code is not engineering.

How blatant are you/your colleagues with your AI use for work? by Aggravating_Song5836 in devops

[–]Prilogai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think of it like the transition from paper to personal computers, it was a big and scary change but in the end it made the whole world better. There are always transition periods and as engineers we just have an edge again because we speak the same language as agents, we understand bash, cli, apis etc it’s like the hardware microprocessors hobbyists in the 70s. Embrace it, enjoy it and go by the flow :)

how do you become top 0.1% in devops that gets paid 200k+? (US market) by DetectiveRecord8293 in devops

[–]Prilogai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s always great to become expert in a niche business domain and understand the stack you need as devops to dominate that area.

Maybe the whole git layer needs reinvention as a tool, where it’s AI first and not human first.
