Before Stackify he was the CTO of a rapidly growing enterprise software service (SaaS) provider. He noticed that agile development had caused his developers to be much more involved in day-to-day IT operations, but his team lacked the tools and server access to do it efficiently. He founded Stackify to create a suite of tools to solve this problem, which virtually every dev and dev team deals with.</p> </div> <div class="podcast-chapters"> <h6>Chapters:</h6> <ul> <li><a href="#!"> - Stackify's growth and impact</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Challenges in front and Matt and Stackify and the relative difficulties of business and development</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - The virtue of contstraints</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - DevOps, NoOps, and how we view servers in today's world</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - The function of IT Operations in a DevOps/NoOps world</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - The meaning of the terms DevOps and NoOps</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - The swinging pendulum of styles of applications and deployment scenarios</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Consolidation toward big cloud hosting providers and barriers to greater competition</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - The joy and pain of supporting multiple languages and platforms</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - A history of bad blood with JavaScript</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Matt on the good and bad of not writing code for Stackify on a regular basis</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - The function of DBAs in a DevOps/NoOps world</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Matt, the podcaster</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="podcast-resources"> <h6>Resources:</h6> <ul> <li><a href="https://stackify.com/" target="_blank">Stackify</a></li> <li><a href="https://stackify.com/blog/" target="_blank">The Stackify Blog</a></li> <li><a href="https://stackify.com/prefix/" target="_blank">Prefix</a></li> <li><a href="https://stackify.com/retrace/" target="_blank">Retrace</a></li> <li><a href="https://newrelic.com/" target="_blank">New Relic</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.appdynamics.com/" target="_blank">AppDynamics</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.dynatrace.com/" target="_blank">Dynatrace</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.splunk.com/" target="_blank">Splunk</a></li> <li><a href="http://developeronfire.com/podcast/episode-198-bryan-cantrill-persistence-and-action" target="_blank">Bryan Cantrill on Developer On Fire</a></li> <li><a href="https://aws.amazon.com/snowball/details/" target="_blank">Amazon Web Services Snowball</a></li> <li><a href="https://aws.amazon.com/snowmobile/" target="_blank">Amazon Web Services Snowmobile</a></li> <li><a href="https://architecht.io/the-great-amazon-s3-outage-of-2017-fc24acbe3391" target="_blank">The Great AWS Outage of 2017</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.troyhunt.com/" target="_blank">Troy Hunt's Blog</a></li> <li><a href="https://podcastdone.com/ShowNotes/Chapters/709aa3fc-8051-4976-b13b-455c2dfe05da" target="_blank">Troy Hunt on Developer On Fire</a></li> <li><a href="http://developeronfire.com/podcast/episode-137-j-b-rainsberger-feedback-and-personal-wins#!" target="_blank">J.B.
