In-house or outsourced DevOps: Which one is best for your startup?

As a startup, the decisions you make early on can make or break your business. One of the most important ones? Whether to handle DevOps in-house or hire an external expert team to do it for you.

Let's break it down.

In-house DevOps

Bringing DevOps in-house means you have full control over your infrastructure, systems and processes. With an in-house team, you can make quick adjustments, keep a close eye on everything and ensure your DevOps practices align with your company's culture.

But, managing DevOps internally isn't without its challenges. The biggest one? You'll need to find and train specialized talent, which can be both costly and time-consuming.

Outsourced DevOps

Outsourcing DevOps gets you access to top-tier talent without the headache of hiring, training and managing an in-house team. This is especially great for startups that want to keep costs down without sacrificing quality.

The best part? Scalability. As your startup grows, your DevOps needs will likely evolve with it. Having an outsourced team gives you the flexibility to scale up or down as needed without the hassle of restructuring your internal team.

Plus, outsourcing allows your internal team to focus on what they do best—building the core features of your product.
