DevOps and Baking
summary
Compares buying off‑the‑shelf DevOps vs building from scratch using baking stages—planning/prep, building/mixing, deploying/baking, monitoring/feedback—and gives concrete tradeoffs: vendor lock‑in and integration limits for box solutions, high maintenance and startup cost for homegrown. Highlights tools like Chef and practices like automation and CI/CD, argues platform engineering creates reusable self‑service stacks that reduce tool chaos, and cites surveys of ~40,000 and ~36,000 respondents showing generative cultures +30% performance, user focus +40%, public cloud +22% flexibility → ~30% higher org performance. Also covers disaster recovery steps and blameless postmortems.
