[Ensorceled]

Years ago I attended a local meetup where the CTO of a local startup gave a presentation on their, mostly successful, microservice rollout.

In the Q&A after ward, another local startup CTO asked about problems their company was having with their microservices.

The successful CTO asked two questions: "How big is your microservices tooling team?" and "How big is your Dev Ops Team?"

His point was, if you're development team is not big enough to afford dedicated teams to tooling and dev ops, it's not big enough to afford microservices.

Was in org with 10 people devops dedicated team, it was smooth, also as a dev could push requests for their repos... but also only 3 devops and they were so busy my requirement for basic stuff was burried in backlog. You can develop but still need to maintain from the to time.
