A Eulogy for DevOps

Technology

DevOps, like many trendy technology terms, has gone from the peak of optimism to the depths of exhaustion. While many of the fundamental ideas behind the concept have become second-nature for organizations, proving it did in fact have a measurable outcome, the difference between the initial intent and where we ended up is vast. For most organizations this didn't result in a wave of safer, easier to use software but instead encouraged new patterns of work that centralized risk and introduced delays and irritations that didn't exist before. We can move faster than before, but that didn't magically fix all our problems.
