Engineering experience in large companies in 2024: provisioning even the simplest thing (a Kafka topic, a Snowflake asset or a new service), even for testing/sandbox purposes, involves:
Writing your own code
Asking 2-3 extra people to review and approve your code
Adding your configuration to a Helm chart (+ ask for review)
Adding your configuration to a Terraform/Ansible repo (+ ask for review)
Adding your configuration to Kubernetes (+ ask for review)
Creating/requesting all the required permissions to add/modify the code + the data + the service configuration
Asking access to all the data assets involved
Navigating through 10-20 different wiki pages with often overlapping or self-contradictory documentation for different pieces of the process - often owned by different teams who don’t communicate with one another to have a full overview of the process
Regularly poking anyone in this process (reviewers, administrators, code owners etc.) who may not timely process your requests
