Towards Decentralized Devops through product team enablement

Abstract:

(Could also be an ignite talk)

In developing Atlantis, we have provided our various engineering teams, with the ability to seamlessly configure and manage deployments of their applications. With containerization and flexible routing, understanding the impact and scale of an application is now shared with the application development teams.

Teams can now easily spin up new versions of their apps in production along side existing versions. This means that we can move traffic over gradually which allows us to speedily adjust if things do not perform as expected.

The traditional Operations role of managing systems over which we have no control is now reduced, allowing us to spend time on scaling, tooling and building out infrastructure to handle our next generation products.

Product Engineers are now able to see how their applications work and are managed in real world scenarios. The time and effort is now devoted to creating new product and working in partnership with DevOps. This partnership is vital, removing the "us and them” culture of traditional Operations and Engineering organizations, and enabling a faster more accurate time to delivery.

Atlantis is a fully container based deployment system. Applications are now safely deployed, routing for multiple versions is handled flexibly, and teams can easily see and manage their dependencies, even in multiple environments.
