Was reading about Spotify agile model recently and found it interesting. What do you guys feel about it? Is it more developer controlled with less to none infra team support requirement? Is it optimal for cloud model and not so for on-premise infrastructure?
Right in the article it says “don’t copy it, figure out the right model for yourself”
Wanna understand what Spotify’ers feel about it
A consultant came, worked with Spotify for a year. Wrote a blog and made his career selling that. It was always an idealisation of reality but after growing 15-30x in employees since that original blog was written, very little looks like that now. That medium article is actually a pretty good take on it. The model only worked because of our Swedish roots and early culture. Many top down companies have tried to implement the model and failed miserably because they didn't have a similar culture. Spotify today looks like many other companies of the size, only with funny words for business units and teams.

Are these any so called “admins” in the company or is dev/devops control the infrastructure part too?
Some of my most favorite evenings are spent with agile models...
