More Culture, More Engineering, Less Duct Tape v3.0
summary
Company reports incident volume falling from 1,640 to ~427 monthly (74% improvement) and release-impact score dropping from 507 to 85 after moving to build‑run teams; throughput grows from 750 TPS to 4,000 TPS. Infrastructure is codified: 100+ load‑balancer configs moved to source control, automated deploys and unit tests, PCI checks cut audit effort from ~20,000 to ~4,000 hours using chef inspect. Public cloud rollout moves 40 backend servers with terraform and chef. Change decentralizes (no CAB except critical cases) and support uses an incident swarm model; teams allocate 15% time to work/life improvements.
