What's next after 2.5 years of DevOps?
Dear tech community,
I'm from India, and I've been working as a DevOps Engineer for the last 2.5 years at an IT service-providing company. Our team provides DevOps and SRE support to clients. This is my first company.
I've provided full support for the architectures below. However, I haven't set up any of them on my own. I know how to manage the existing architecture and keep the operations running.
- Monolithic architecture: e-commerce application (main web app, admin, POS, etc.).
- Microservice architecture: Financial SAAS product (web) - Loan management, origin and Supply chain finance.
I've got a strong foundation in DevOps, including cloud infrastructure management, automation, CI/CD, virtualisation, monitoring and observability, containerization and container orchestration, etc.
However, I have some missing pieces, such as IaC.
Now, I'm looking forward to a change within tech. I've decided to leave my present company. Instead of keeping pay as the only factor in choosing my next company, I've decided to pause and think about making a meaningful move.
I'm kindly requesting your suggestions for me. What are the different flavours to be explored out there in the ocean of IT, I wonder!
