Nice! We did something similar in our organization and can confirm the benefits. One thing we added was compliance scanning in the CI pipeline. The key insight for us was understanding that documentation debt is as dangerous as technical debt. We also found that the initial investment was higher than expected, but the long-term benefits exceeded our projections. Happy to share more details if anyone is interested.
For context, we're using Istio, Linkerd, and Envoy.
One thing I wish I knew earlier: the human side of change management is often harder than the technical implementation. Would have saved us a lot of time.
This is almost identical to what we faced. The problem: deployment failures. Our initial approach was manual intervention but that didn't work because too error-prone. What actually worked: automated rollback based on error rate thresholds. The key insight was automation should augment human decision-making, not replace it entirely. Now we're able to deploy with confidence.
Additionally, we found that starting small and iterating is more effective than big-bang transformations.
Feel free to reach out if you have more questions - happy to share our runbooks and documentation.
Can confirm from our side. The most important factor was cross-team collaboration is essential for success. We initially struggled with team resistance but found that drift detection with automated remediation worked well. The ROI has been significant - we've seen 2x improvement.

One thing I wish I knew earlier: failure modes should be designed for, not discovered in production. Would have saved us a lot of time.
This resonates strongly. We've learned that the most important factor was failure modes should be designed for, not discovered in production. We initially struggled with security concerns but found that chaos engineering tests in staging worked well. The ROI has been significant - we've seen 70% improvement.

The end result was 70% reduction in incident MTTR.

Great post! We've been doing this for about 16 months now and the results have been impressive. Our main learning was that failure modes should be designed for, not discovered in production. We also discovered that integration with existing tools was smoother than anticipated. For anyone starting out, I'd recommend feature flags for gradual rollouts.
Additionally, we found that starting small and iterating is more effective than big-bang transformations.
