AI promises oceans deep… but never to keep? 🌊

Dmytro Sirant, our CTO, was featured in a Clutch article diving into AI’s role in Site Reliability Engineering (SREs).

🔹 The Promise: automate tasks, speed up incident detection, optimize performance.
🔹 The Reality: a report from 300 SREs shows AI adoption is rising — but so is toil.
🔹 The Problem: unfixed legacy issues + AI’s own quirks = more work for SREs.

AI is powerful, but only when done right. Check the link in the comments to read the whole story!

Today we want to share the DevOps journey of Andriy Nikitin, one of our AWS Golden Jacket stars! 🎉

With almost 3 years of experience in DevOps, his 13 AWS certifications and Kubernetes certifications (CKA, CKAD, CKS, CKNA) speak for themselves about his dedication to mastering the craft!

What sets Andriy apart? His deep focus on security 🛡️
With certifications like GFACT, CompTIA Security+, and C|CT, Andriy has a strong foundation in cybersecurity and specializes in hardening systems against threats.

💬 “Security is not just an afterthought — it’s at the heart of everything we build, and it should be top of mind for everyone. It's not enough to rely solely on a dedicated team or individual responsible for it. We need to foster a 'security-awareness mindset' in every person. In today's world, being covered by third-party tools or services alone isn’t enough to ensure complete safety. With a strong foundation, we can face modern challenges. For me, DevOps and DevSecOps are not just fancy terms — they represent a framework, or as many would say, an ideology. When combined with the latest knowledge, they enhance productivity, efficiency, and security in any company.”

Andriy’s drive to system protection, optimization, and innovation makes him a vital asset to the team.

Let’s give a huge shoutout to Andriy and his amazing achievements! 👏🚀
