Career paths for DevOps growth at Zühlke

“I love working as a DevOps consultant because it’s easy to quantify the real-world impact of my work. Recently I’ve worked with retailers, airports and banks. Underperforming processes and systems can quickly equate to millions of francs or euros in lost revenue. I like being able to prove the results of my work.”

How do we keep up with DevOps trends at Zühlke?

The principles, technologies and disciplines of DevOps moves fast. Cloud-native technologies (like kubernetes, docker and serverless computing) are particularly popular DevOps trends at the moment, and we support our DevOps engineers to experiment with emerging and maturing DevOps trends to ensure we’re always providing the best recommendations to customers.

Another important trend is the principle of observability. DevOps is about the visualisation – of a value stream, pipeline, KPIs, bottlenecks – it’s impossible to optimise the wider value stream if you can’t see what’s going on (or where you should focus).

Observability is particularly important given the cloud-native DevOps trends mentioned above. As architectures become more complex and underlying systems become fragmented and decentralized, it gets more critical to understand the connections and dependencies of every component in the value chain. Observability brings those relationships to the surface and ensures you can always take the right actions to optimize for the desired outcome.
