Bet365 backs DevOps to improve site reliability
Summary
The company hopes the new DevOps team will support software development projects and drive down delays in introducing new applications, while at the same time improving site reliability. Bet365 said the 70-strong team will collaborate to identify new principles, technologies and ways of working that can drive operational automation, increase monitoring sophistication and enhance deployment pipelines. “The critical question is how to keep pace with the consistent need to release software, while ensuring the platform remains stable and secure. This will involve breaking out of the team and technology silos that can otherwise hinder how the end-to-end system is understood and managed,” said Briggs. “We will build a view of how all parts of the system work together and progress engineering principles that make monitoring, reporting and self-diagnostics/healing more achievable.”
