The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande is a must read
We did a similar thing. Started all in on Heroku and then slowly moved database, redis, MQ and CICD off to dedicated providers over a 4 year period. Then we spent several months creating an architecture in a different…
We have a analytics SaaS which displays, among many other pieces of data, ratings from different providers, including Yelp. I assumed that Yelp had been doing this all along and we ran above some predetermined limit,…

You need to push to get 1-2 junior devops engineers that you can handle the day-to-day tasks (unblocking engineers, fixing common issues), so that you can focus on larger picture tasks (evaluating new technologies,…
