Here's our full story with this. We started about 6 months ago with a small pilot. Initial challenges included tool integration. The breakthrough came when we simplified the architecture. Key metrics improved: 90% decrease in manual toil. The team's feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, though we still have room for improvement in documentation. Lessons learned: automate everything. Next steps for us: add more automation. Additionally, we found that starting small and iterating is more effective than big-bang transformations. Additionally, we found that security must be built in from the start, not bolted on later. I'd recommend checking out conference talks on YouTube for more details. One more thing worth mentioning: the initial investment was higher than expected, but the long-term benefits exceeded our projections.
