In the early stages of growth, startups often face one big challenge: how to build and release products quickly without sacrificing quality. Many teams get stuck between development and operations, causing delays and inefficiencies. This is where a DevOps workshop for startups becomes a game-changer.

Take the story of a Jakarta-based startup that built a SaaS platform for SMEs. Their developers were constantly pushing new features, but the operations team struggled to keep up with deployment and monitoring. Bugs piled up, downtime increased, and users grew frustrated. To solve this, the founders enrolled their team in a DevOps workshop.

Within just a few sessions, the developers and operations team learned how to:

• Automate deployments using CI/CD pipelines.
• Improve collaboration between dev and ops teams.
• Monitor systems in real-time, reducing downtime.
• Scale infrastructure on the cloud to handle user growth.

Why Startups Need a DevOps Workshop

1. Speed to market – Deliver features faster without breaking systems.
2. Cost efficiency – Automate repetitive tasks, saving valuable time and resources.
3. Resilience – Build systems that can recover quickly from failures.
4. Culture shift – Foster collaboration instead of silos.

Benefits for Startups

• Higher product quality, fewer bugs in production.
• Satisfied customers, thanks to stable, reliable services.
• Empowered teams, with shared ownership of projects.
• Investor confidence, as scalability and reliability become visible strengths.

What a DevOps Workshop Covers
