Organizational development
Triple the size of the operations team , set the tone of the organization advocating for collaboration, constant learning, and continuous improvement.
Continuous deployment
Increased our deployment frequency from once every two weeks to five to ten times a day.
Automation
Manage infrastructure as code using Chef. Quickly spin-up new environments, expand capacity, and manage change across the entirety of the infrastructure. The infrastructure was co-located in a datacenter and running in a public cloud (AWS).
Developer Support
Improve agility of the engineering team through self-service provisioning of environments, continuous integration, configuration, and deployments.
Production Operations
Manage a suite of applications ensuring they are meeting all business and functional requirements.
Sharing with the Community
Part of improving the team is sharing both the good and the bad with the community. This was done by contributing to the CustomInk Technology blog, speaking at technical conferences, and organizing local meetups such as DevOpsDC and Washington, D.C. MongoDB Users Group.
