My Project Phoenix: how I became a hero and realized it was a problem [ukr]
This talk is about a real DevOps project whose journey turned out to be strikingly similar to the storyline of The Phoenix Project.
I will walk through the entire path: building the platform, migration, working with development teams, communicating with the business, operating the system under load, and the kinds of mistakes that become visible only over time.
This is not a retelling of the book and not a success story. It is a conversation about systemic decisions, responsibility, learning, incident preparedness, and how complex technical systems shape the behavior of the people within them.
The talk focuses not on tools, but on the insights that appear only when a project is lived from start to finish — from an idea to the reality of production.
