This is an amazing resource with one big blind spot. There doesn't seem to be any documentation for DevOps on SaaS applications like Salesforce.

That said, I wouldn't even know how to incorporate that very different learning path into these docs. Most of the basics tools are the same (IDEs, source control, CI/CD) but SaaS applications take care of most of the accidental complexity that solutions like docker and kubernetes solve for, while at the same time introducing their own set of accidental complexity like not being able to rebuild the application from scratch.

As more applications turn into declarative development environments with the assistance of AI with a focus on allowing developers to spend more time on essential complexity, the Venn diagram of "traditional" DevOps and SaaS DevOps will grow in the middle, with more and more new devs approaching the topic from the SaaS side.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback and for highlighting an important area that could be expanded! 🙏

I’ll be honest - I currently don’t have much experience with DevOps for SaaS applications like Salesforce. However, you’ve brought up a great point about the unique challenges and opportunities that SaaS platforms present, especially in comparison to more traditional DevOps tools like Docker and Kubernetes.

The convergence between traditional DevOps and SaaS DevOps, as you mentioned, is an exciting shift, and it’s definitely worth exploring how to address this in a way that bridges the gap for those coming from either side. I’ll make a note of this and consider adding content that reflects these new practices as I continue to grow the repository.

If you or others have specific ideas or examples of workflows in SaaS DevOps, I’d love to hear more! Your insight is incredibly valuable in helping this resource stay relevant and comprehensive.

I'll definitely be contributing, when I find some time this fall.

I don't know anything about devops, but I want to starr it.
What should be my steps and things I should take care off while learning devops, how much time it may take (estimated).

I think I should go to Roadmap.sh/devops and then find the topics and read that topics from you documentation. Am I correct ?
(Btw 950 stars)

Thank you, @coder_pratyaksh_d89d468f0, for your interest and support.

If you're looking for a DevOps learning path, I would suggest starting with roadmap.sh/devops and github.com/MichaelCade/90DaysOfDevOps. You can then combine them with my devops-basics repo when you want to explore specific topics.

Xebia used to have the periodic table of DevOps that lists similar tools vertically much the chemical equivalent . Have you seen that?

Tung Leo • Sep 16

Thank you so much for your feedback! It's great to hear that there is similar content out there to help everyone learn and explore DevOps. Unfortunately, I haven’t come across the one you mentioned before, but I would love to learn more about it. Please feel free to share it here so everyone can benefit and grow together. Thanks!
