What we’re about
About Us: It doesn’t matter if you just recently developed an interest in DevOps or you are an old-hat DevOps practitioner - we welcome you to DevOps Vancouver Meetup!
DevOps is a mindset and framework of practices and tools that aims for breaking boundaries between development, business, and operations within organizations. Although built on foundation of Lean and Agile principles, DevOps extends the meaning of agility. Therefore, we are open to all who are interested in sharing and hearing stories related to DevOps from like-minded individuals.
