The infrastructure work you should not have to touch just to ship a feature
Blog post from Upsun
Shipping application features often forces developers to manage infrastructure concerns such as Terraform state, Kubernetes configurations, IAM permissions, networking, and secrets rotation, despite these requiring specialized operational and security expertise separate from application development. The post argues that these tasks remain essential but should be centralized in a platform layer, where they can be implemented consistently once and automatically applied across projects and environments rather than repeatedly recreated by individual teams. A well-maintained platform can provide production-like environments, scoped deployment access, service connectivity, and synchronized secrets while allowing developers to retain control over application languages, services, and architecture. The central distinction is not between automation and infrastructure as code, but between low-level resource definitions maintained by developers and higher-level application specifications supported by a shared delivery platform.
