Highlights:

  • 62% of 140 SREs and DevOps Practitioners who were surveyed want to clarify their Application and Infrastructure Ownership after Code release.
  • Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) and Operations Professionals prefer this path, according to the newly published Sentry and SlashData data.

Increasingly, modern firms are adopting a “you built it, you own it” approach inside their engineering departments. According to newly disclosed statistics from Sentry and SlashData, site reliability engineers (SREs) and operations professionals favor this road ahead. Following code deployment, 62% of the 140 SREs and DevOps Practitioners questioned, have expressed the desire for a more apparent distinction between Application and Infrastructure Ownership.

74% of respondents cited hunting down people to handle Application difficulties as the most time-consuming. In contrast, 64% of respondents agreed that their business should devote more time to identifying and repairing Infrastructure weaknesses.

There’s Much to Lose: Dropping Customers And Limiting Productivity

Enterprises must do this right, as making reactive efforts to fix application failures can have a disastrous effect on the bottom line. Customers are likewise eager to switch to competitors when they are repeatedly inconvenienced.

Almost half of the SRE/DevOps practitioners questioned for ‘Sentry’s Infrastructure vs. Applications Report’ reported that application difficulties result in increased time spent on customer support, which substantially impacts the productivity of SRE/DevOps teams. 30% of SRE/DevOps practitioners say that their teams lose more than one person-worth months of productivity annually due to application difficulties.

For contemporary businesses to run more efficiently, decentralization is the optimal strategy. Although 52% of respondents now work in a decentralized environment, more than half of those polled by Sentry desire that each department has greater autonomy and control over their settings and the appropriate tools for their team.

The Methodology

Sentry and SlashData questioned 140 site reliability engineers (SREs) and DevOps practitioners from firms with more than 50 workers and active software applications in production.
