I would also add that you just don't automatize stuff. Because the more you add layers, the more you'll have to dig into at 3AM with the customer screaming at you on the phone. It's using the complete stack and using the least technology required to do the task at hand. While having access to the whole picture. I have heard too many times that something is complicated then we can automatize it. But automatization has to be debugged, so, if the task is not complex per se, try to find a simpler tool, try to limit your intervention in the config files, try to limit the number of tools etc. But you can make those tradeoff across the whole stack. And suddenly you're balancing between adding a library to the code or a program on the machine, or a function package in the DB. You have a wider view, and you have the pressure to do the right thing because your phone is connected to new relic. |
