Ops team? We're a two man operation with occasional contractors.



In that case, what is the ratio of "time spent doing ops-related tasks" vs "time spent developing new features" in your company? Please offer an honest evaluation. Everything has a cost; I'm genuinely curious about data points other than my own.


I probably spend no more than an hour a week on ops, and most of that is reading emails from our service providers.


Today, maybe, assuming a calm ocean and no scaling issues. But I don't believe you spent an hour a week setting up your three data centers, backups, failover procedure, etc.


The backup script was written in a night, and the most complicated part about failover is remembering to sync data when the outage is over.
