Responsible for “development” and “operations”, DevOps engineers have both a cool job title and a dual responsibility: coding websites or apps, as well as deploying them and making sure they work properly.
Fun fact
IT failures affect us more than we might like to admit. To guard against large-scale disasters, in 2012, Netflix engineers decided to test the limits of their systems. They designed a program called Chaos Monkey, which deliberately(!) put several of their production infrastructure servers out of action. The goal? To test the resilience of their IT architecture and self-recovery processes. Thankfully, it all worked!
