Manual Environment Setup
Developers and IT teams waste days manually provisioning, configuring, and deploying environments due to permissions, stale docs, and brittle tooling.
In their words
once we hit a bit of scale, it started becoming more work to maintain than we expected
I used to do software development in a SCIF (airgapped network) and it was an absolute nightmare. Pre-ai, no internet, can’t import modules or download software.
Has any vendor got code to cloud working? We have two big names that haven’t.
Ich soll das einrichten. Am Ende kriege ich Zugang zu einer 8 Jahre alte Windows Server Mühle ohne VMP/Hyper-V, also läuft Docker nicht.
It wasn't just a deployment server. It also handled domain stuff and monitoring. When it went down, everything went down.
It took 2 days to get Homebrew installed on my Macbook, but come to find out I have to raise a ticket to install any package.
pra executar ele local precisa rodar 5 outros fronts ao mesmo tempo pq fizeram um mfe enrabando o outro
Going from local Unix/Mac setups with high-speed tooling to locked-down Windows VMs, restrictive proxies, and mandatory corporate suites completely kills developer velocity. Simple things take 5x longer.
Poor CI/CD integration in Gogs. Had to manage authentication and authorisation ourselves and the tools were poor.
Two days later nobody could deploy due to pipeline failures and it took a week to resolve.
I don't want to add all the extra complexity of handling auth outside of the K8S cluster so a Lamba can validate the session token.
Some of the admins use a lot of Ansible but its literally all just sitting in a playbooks folder on a jumphost. Nothing in git, no tracking, questionable backups.
Octopus Deploy year ago raised our payment from $50 per month to $15000 per year
Many users, (myself included), had need to test cloud stuff locally, but had no tool to do so.

Where they talk
- r/devops
- r/sysadmin
- r/MicrosoftFabric
- r/AZURE
- r/Intune
- r/brdev
- r/SaaS
- r/salesforce
Tools they use today
- GitHub
- Docker
- git
- AWS
- Microsoft Fabric
- Azure DevOps
- Jenkins
- Terraform
Why those fall short
- locked-down, restrictive, kills developer velocity
- tickets take days; forced updates re-break approved tools
- no existing container infrastructure, old server lacks virtualization
- single server combines deployment, domain and monitoring roles
- everything needs sign-offs and approved internal versions
