Overview of this book

This practical guide to DevOps uses GitHub as the DevOps platform and shows how you can leverage the power of GitHub for collaboration, lean management, and secure and fast software delivery. The chapters provide simple solutions to common problems, thereby helping teams that are already on their DevOps journey to further advance into DevOps and speed up their software delivery performance. From finding the right metrics to measure your success to learning from other teams’ success stories without merely copying what they’ve done, this book has it all in one place. As you advance, you’ll find out how you can leverage the power of GitHub to accelerate your value delivery – by making work visible with GitHub Projects, measuring the right metrics with GitHub Insights, using solid and proven engineering practices with GitHub Actions and Advanced Security, and moving to event-based and loosely coupled software architecture. By the end of this GitHub book, you'll have understood what factors influence software delivery performance and how you can measure your capabilities, thus realizing where you stand in your journey and how you can move forward.

The two-pizza team

One of the most discussed microservice-based architectures that allows thousands of deployments per day at a large scale is the architecture of Amazon. They use the two-pizza rule for their team setup (Amazon, 2020):

"We try to create teams that are no larger than can be fed by two pizzas."

– Jeff Bezos

But how many people exactly can you feed with two pizzas? In our user groups, we always calculate one party pizza for three to four people. That would make a team size of six to eight people. At Giordano's in the US, they use the 3/8 rule – the number of pizzas you order should be three times the number of people to feed divided by eight:

This would result in a maximum of 5 to 6 people in each team. So, the size of a two-pizza team is not very well defined – and I think it has nothing to do with the hunger of the team members. The rule just means that the team should be small.

The problem with big teams is that the...
