We recently announced the arrival of our Live DevOps Innovation Platform built in-house here at Sandhata. I wanted to share some of the tools we have used for it so far, as well as my personal experiences on this platform, as it has been very interesting and a big learning experience for me.

We have been working hard, with the goal of creating a platform which incorporates DevOps principles and practices across the whole delivery lifecycle.
