[mikkeljensen]

Your startup's infrastructure and development workflows will face increasing demands as it expands. Here are some important indicators that it may be time to consider to hire DevOps engineer:

1. Increased infrastructure complexity
2. Consistent deployment failures or unavailability
3. Development constraints and burnout
4. Security and compliance requirements

Nice indicators, what is an average salary of a remote Devops engineer?

For me, the biggest clue was when deployments started breaking all the time, and the team spent more time fixing stuff than building new features. It got to the point where burnout was creeping in, and we needed someone who could streamline things and set up better systems.
Security was another wake-up call as we grew. We realized we couldn’t just wing it anymore. Getting a DevOps engineer early can save you a lot of headaches later. If you’re thinking about scaling up your workflows, something like Introduction to ADM is worth looking into—it helped me get a better grip on structuring things.
