Continuous Everything: Open-Source and the Future of DevOps
summary
Argues that one-size-fits-all cloud DevOps platforms hit limits — vendor lock‑in, only ~80% fit, and a predicted 90% of DevOps initiatives miss expectations — and proposes open source as the solution. Describes DevStream: Define platform as YAML and the tool applies installs, config and integrations using a core state machine + plugins model that runs create/update/delete for chosen tools (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, k8s charts, etc.). Notes tradeoffs: open source reduces lock‑in but costs time to learn and maintain; code and roadmap live on GitHub.
