Although the book is based on GitHub (product 5%), it shares experience and information that applies to the other core pieces of the DevOps pie - process (15%), and people (80%) in these six parts. The book has become my first-point-of-contact for topics such as Metrics that matter, OKRs (objectives, key, results), YAML basics, Feature Flags, Trunk-based Development, working with Git, Code Security, Testing, and much more. What caught my eye throughout the book is Michael's focus on "keeping it simple" - love it!

Neue Trends und Tools werden nahezu täglich hervorgebracht. Dieses Buch stellt eine Vielzahl von spannenden und überaus nützlichen Tools vor, die jeder einmal gesehen haben sollte. Der tiefe Einblick den der Autor gewährt, seine Art, Probleme zu beleuchten und zu erklären, und die einfachen pragmatischen Lösungsansätze. Sie machen das Buch zu einer sehr guten Ergänzung des Lernmaterials für alle, die sich mit dem Thema befassen oder in Zukunft befassen möchten.Gerade im Bereich der Integration von GitHub und der damit verbundenen riesigen Toolbox bietet dieses Buch sehr tiefgehende und wissenswerte Punkte.Die Investition in dieses Buch lohnt sich meiner Meinung nach definitiv, wenn man sich für umfangreiche DevOps-Konzepte und Best Practice Beispiele interessiert und erfahren möchte, wie sich GitHub hierbei integrieren lässt.

I've been a fan of the author for a while in the DevOps community, so I was particularly interested in reading this book. A deep knowledge doesn't always translate to a useful read, but in this case it absolutely did.What impressed me in particular was the deliberate strategy of digging into the theory and principles of DevOps followed by instruction on how to implement what's been discussed. I love this structure - it's both strategy and how-to which serves all audiences from management to team leads and individual engineers, whether they use GitHub or another toolset.The author is opinionated on many principles and practices but those opinions are clearly-reasoned and explained with excellent examples and justifications.There are some fantastic insights into many aspects of software engineering and delivery that aren't often reflected upon. Rather than stopping simply at observation, the author suggests solutions and different ways of working. So rather than just theories and suggestions, you end up with actionable content.For example, early in the book the author makes some pointed observations on how and why poorly-timed estimation can be toxic. But rather than stopping there, he talks about what to do about it.Another thing that struck me was that there is really comprehensive coverage of each chapter and heading. Let's face it - the book isn't a short read. So in a book that covers so much ground it would be understandable to have a shallow look at some areas. But this isn't the case. Each heading could be a blog post or even a short white paper. You're never left feeling he just played lip service to a heading he knew the book should have.My only negative is one that's sadly unavoidable for technical books - updates and new features that come to GitHub will mean out of date information in time. Ironically this problem is made worse because GitHub follows many of the practices promoted in this book!However, at the time of this review, the content is very current, and the significant non-product content is very unlikely to date any time soon.In all, this is a very comprehensive and well-written book. I'd recommend it to anyone struggling with implementing DevOps concepts - whether they're using GitHub or not.

Github is full of features that can significantly boost your team’s productivity, and this book appears to cover them all. But the book is not only a great reference for learning how to maximize your value using Github, it is also packed with advice and ideas for any team to use to accelerate their software delivery with sound software practices. I particularly liked how some of the case studies helped explain the value of the concepts described in the book. You could use this book as a reference when implementing specific Github features, but I believe you will gain the most value by reading the entire book to learn how adopting several DevOps best practices together can really accelerate your software delivery. The book is much more than a DevOps reference, it provides a holistic overview of software delivery complete with good recommendations.

This is a balanced book on applying current DevOps practices on GitHub in 2022. It covers from the basic to practical applications on GItHub very well. Slightly short yet good attempts for Lean Product and Digital Transformation. The tone and lingo used are for technical audience. A GitHub onboarding learning guide. A refresher and eye-opener for experienced GitHub users. I recommended this book for Engineers, Solution Architects and Engineering Leads.
