For the 90 Days of DevOps community, I presented the concept of the digital factory. After years of doing DevOps transformations across industries at Zühlke, I have developed a holistic approach to scaling DevOps that goes beyond just tools and pipelines. In this talk, I explain why we still struggle with walls of confusion, how platform engineering enables teams to do DevOps at scale, and how digital factories bring everything together.
I joined Eveline Oehrlich, Chief Research Officer at the DevOps Institute, on the Humans of DevOps podcast for a conversation about whether DevOps is dead. Spoiler: it is not. But the reality in most companies is that we have not progressed as far as many people think. In this episode, we talk about what a Chief of DevOps actually does, why companies still struggle with walls of confusion, how platform engineering enables scaling, and my prediction about digital factories.
Every year, I go through the latest reports, articles, and industry discussions to compile a comprehensive view of the DevOps trends shaping our industry. For 2024, I mapped every major trend onto the technology adoption lifecycle to give you a clear picture of where each technology, methodology, or capability stands in terms of adoption. This framework helps you understand not just what is trending, but how mature each trend really is.
In this episode of the DevTalk podcast, my colleague Kerry Lothrop and I have a conversation about the state of DevOps. We have known each other for many years at Zühlke, and Kerry wanted to pick my brain on what DevOps really means today, where companies struggle, and where the industry is heading.
At the Conf42 DevSecOps 2024 conference, I presented my approach to architecting for continuous delivery. After more than 21 years at Zühlke, working across industries on DevOps transformations, I keep seeing the same fundamental problem: value streams broken by walls of confusion. In this talk, I walk through how organizations can move from project thinking to product thinking, build in quality and security from the start, architect for operability, and use platform engineering to scale it all.
As Chief of DevOps and Partner at Zühlke, I have spent over two decades helping companies continuously deliver value. In this video, I walk through the complete Zühlke DevOps offering, from our understanding of DevOps and the challenges of scaling it, to our concrete service offerings including the Digital Factory and the Platform Plane.
In this video, I take a deep dive into the science behind DevOps. Specifically, I look at the DORA metrics, where they come from, and the book Accelerate that provides the scientific foundation for everything we know about high-performing software delivery organizations.
DevOps transformations look simple on paper. Take an existing environment, add the Spotify model, throw in SAFe, sprinkle some Team Topologies, add DevOps and platform engineering, stir well, add as many tools as possible, and stir again. What happens? It crashes. And people say “DevOps is bullshit.”

In this podcast episode, I have a conversation with Peyton Einhaus about one of the most challenging aspects of any transformation: dealing with resistance. Whether you are running an agile transformation, a DevOps transformation, or any organizational change, resistance is always present. The question is how you handle it effectively.
Embedded and IoT devices are becoming increasingly popular in today’s world. These devices are used in various industries, such as healthcare, manufacturing, consumer goods and home automation. Ensuring the quality of these devices is crucial to ensure their reliability, safety, and functionality. But how to do that?
Sometimes in the world of platform engineering, we need to pause and appreciate the digital landscapes we build every day. This short, playful video is a guided meditation for platform engineers. Find a comfortable position, take a deep breath, and let me guide you through the world you create.
