CloudOps: the everyday heroes
Companies are increasingly setting up dedicated teams to handle tooling issues for developers, allowing them to focus on their core competence of product development. These teams, known as Developer Experience (DEX) or Cloud Operations (CloudOps) teams, manage tasks such as maintenance of local and cloud software tools, upkeep of libraries and SDKs, subscriptions to various services, oversight of supported technologies, best practices around workplace collaboration, creation of supporting materials, and working with corporate IT. By centralizing these functions, companies can achieve cost savings through increased bargaining power and ensure that all tools meet security and scalability requirements. Additionally, a CloudOps team helps optimize resource management, making it environmentally friendly by reducing unnecessary consumption of resources. Overall, having a dedicated team to handle tooling issues benefits everyone in the company, from developers to the organization as a whole.
