Four Things We Learned about DevOps in London

PagerDuty recently hosted a customer event in London, gathering thirty participants to discuss current trends in Operations, the importance of being Operationally Mature, and the adoption of DevOps to enhance business value. Key speakers included Rich Archbold from Intercom and Kit Reynolds from Trainline, who shared their experiences transitioning to more efficient operational models with the help of PagerDuty. They emphasized the significance of metrics that matter, addressing on-call burnout, and the benefits of a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) to manage complex IT systems. The event highlighted the growing importance of DevOps, the need for end-to-end ownership to accelerate market speed, and the role of collaboration and specialized tools in achieving agile IT operations. PagerDuty underscored its commitment to improving uptime and engineers' quality of life by engaging with customers globally to refine their product offerings.
