In the realm of software development, AI Ops propels the integration of AI with the DevOps CI/CD pipelines. Evolving software development practices are put in place to improve the levels of effectiveness, quality, and safety throughout the software delivery life cycle. This synergy brings into existence the automation and optimization of processes that traditionally relied on manual or rule-based interfaces, and thereby fewer errors come into play, allowing for expedited software releases.

In our industry, CI/CD pipelines have come to be a very important concept for modern software...

I'm absolutely thrilled to finally share the highlights of my Ph.D thesis journey: Achieving Successful DevOps Adoption in IT Organizations. It has been a fascinating deep dive into DevOps’ adoption, untamed ocean.

For years, I've been passionate about this DevOps problem. From arguing about siloed teams to geeking out at open-source meetups, I've seen firsthand the virtues – and the difficulties – of trying to bring Dev and Ops together. And let's be honest, while everyone and their cousins seem to be talking about DevOps benefits like swifter releases and more satisfied customers, the reality...

Some thoughts about my contribution to the Future IT Leadership Course at Técnico+.

In today's digital landscape, organizations find themselves under pressure to deliver high-quality software as quickly or as blatantly as possible.

Back to basics: DevOps is much more...

At Drupalcon Amsterdam 2019 I moderated a very interesting panel about Local Drupal Development tools.

The invited panelists were: Randy Fay from Drud (DDEV), Mattias Michaux from Dropsolid (Launchpad), Michael Schmid from Amazee (pygmy), Engin Yilmaz from FFW (Docksal), Mark Casias from Mediacurrent (Lando) and Alejandro Moreno-Lopez from Acquia (Acquia DS).

It seems everyone has their own favorite local development tool these days. From Lando to DDEV, along with Launchpad, Docksal, pygmy and Acquia DS to custom solutions, developers have strong opinions of which tools rank...

At DrupalCon Amsterdam 2019 I presented a session about capacity planning. In this session I explain how to solve a couple of recurring problems:
Site Launch and User expectations

Based on these problems I share some good practice, by answering questions, like:

- How to create a good capacity plan?
- How to forecast resource needs and make it sustainable?
- How to automate that process?

Imagine a customer that provides a set of needs for hardware, sets a date and launches the site, but then he forgets to warn that they have sent out some (thousands of) emails to half the world announcing...
