For high growth SaaS companies, the pressure to release new features is immense.
But.
You still need to maintain stability and can’t risk a costly outage.
You need a way to free up developers from doing all the extracurriculars.
Emphasize the need.
They waste time trying to know everything.
Things like: figuring out deployments, , reading configuration documentation, building containerization strategies, and so on.
Sure they should know about some of those things as devs, but you need them writing code.
It shouldn’t take 4 weeks to get an application off the ground.
For leaders it’s not good enough just to be generally aware that there are pains and bottlenecks that developers deal with.
You need to know what they are and then…
Do something about it.
Free up your devs to focus on writing quality code and delivering quickly.
Automation is a thing. Use it.
Best,
Andre
