Cloud infrastructure self-serve model

The Challenge
By design, DevOps & cloud engineers are the bottleneck if product teams wait for them for every deployment
Current State
- Different teams (DevOps, Cloud, Product, FinOps) work in silos, causing delays.
- Product teams lack IaC/Terraform expertise and don’t have time to learn.
- DevOps engineers spend up to 50% of their time supporting other teams.
- Infrastructure knowledge and resources are scattered, with limited reusability.
Business Impact
- Slowed velocity due to dependency on platform/DevOps teams.
- Frequent bottlenecks during provisioning and troubleshooting.
- Inconsistent environments because teams "reinvent the wheel".
- Increased cost & risk, as engineers build manually with limited visibility and governance.
