Ryn Daniels at The Lead Developer New York 2017
summary
Argues that effective DevOps scales organizations by applying the four pillars of Collaboration Affinity Scaling Tools and treating organizational change like deployable, testable code. At Etsy a gap in monitoring and provisioning prompts created dedicated monitoring and provisioning teams for focus; the experiment runs amid 200 to 300 engineers and on on‑premise data centers rather than cloud. Changes are rolled out iteratively, reviewed broadly, and treated blamelessly; a manager sabbatical forces iteration and reveals what works and what needs reworking.
