The Hidden Cost of Bad DevOps
February 5, 2024
A startup learned the hard way that DevOps isn't just operations — it's business-critical.
The Cost: $50K in Six Months
- Over-provisioning: $500/mo vs $180
- Three major outages: $30,000
- Emergency contractor fees: $8,000
Good DevOps is about boring, reliable systems. Invest early or pay far more later.
