Scaling DevOps: A Consistent and Manageable Approach for Company-Wide Application Development

Abstract

In the ever-evolving world of software development, maintaining consistency and manageability across company-wide projects is a significant challenge, especially for smaller infrastructure and DevOps teams tasked with overseeing critical systems. This talk delves into an approach that emphasizes consistency and scalability in application development and deployment. We will explore a specially developed CI/CD orchestration system and templates, designed to standardize the creation of new applications with essential defaults and monitoring capabilities. This system is not only a facilitator for scaling small teams but also aligns with Continuous Delivery Foundation’s projects (building on shoulder of giants).
