When the CTO becomes the DevOps team

Most early-stage CTOs run cloud infrastructure on the side of their actual job. Here are the four patterns we've seen over a decade of consulting, and what changes when you treat the path to production as the platform itself.

AI made infrastructure changes cheap. Safe execution didn't get any easier. Here's what happens to lean teams in that gap, and how a governed path to production fixes it.
