How DevOps can make you faster, better, stronger (and more efficient)

Schnitzel

Amazee Labs originally started as a small company with only a couple of developers. We were quite lucky with the way we deployed in that every deployment involved the help of the Operations Engineer. Not a problem if you only have one or two deployments per week.

Fast forward to today where we have grown to 3 locations with 30 people all over the world, at times with multiple deployments per day or hour. Did I mention we still have only one Operations Engineer? Just that today he is called DevOps Engineer.

How does this crazy plan work and scale? It is only possible with the industry magic word: DevOps. We automate and embrace DevOps in every part of the process we can, including automated deployments on git pushes with build scripts.

In this session I will present:

  • How we transitioned from manual to fully automated deployments with the Help of DevOps
  • Which tools and systems we are using to deploy (Hint: it includes Jenkins and Ansible)
  • How we don't just stop at automating deployments.
  • How embracing DevOps through the whole company helps us staying efficient and lean.
  • How you can utilize the same tools and processes that we’re using.

This session is interesting to you if:

  • You would like to know why you should invest into DevOps
  • You wanna know where you should start investing into DevOps
  • You wanna see how a full deployment to multiple servers with just one git commit works
