DevOps@bol.com a great journey towards autonomy
summary
Bol.com shifts 9 teams to 45 autonomous devops teams, runs a two-team pilot and builds a simple in-house deployer called Mayfly deployment platform to give teams production rights. Releases drop from one big four‑weekly “Super Bowl” to about 170 deployments per month for early adopters; incidents and criticals fall while deploy frequency and throughput rise. Ops engineers embed with teams, platform teams provide tooling, and approvals move from gate checks to team-owned monitoring and runbooks.
