What an evening! On Wednesday, June 25th 2025, 50 DevOps professionals, platform engineers, and tech enthusiasts gathered at the Zühlke offices in Schlieren for a special edition of the DevOps Meetup – and the big reveal of the DevOps in Switzerland Report 2025.
Opening Talk: Simplicity – the Key to Survival for a 3‑Person DevOps Team
The evening kicked off with an inspiring talk by Urs Enzler, who shared lessons learned from running a time tracking application with a lean DevOps setup: just three developers and two business stakeholders – for nearly ten years!
Their secret? Simplicity.
- Radical simplification across the board – from architecture and testing to communication and monitoring.
- Minimal tooling – every tool must prove its value before being adopted.
- Fast feedback cycles – enabling agility and continuous improvement.
The result: a low-maintenance, high-impact system with fast decision-making and sustainable DevOps practices. A powerful reminder that small teams can achieve big things – when they keep things simple.
Report Presentation: DevOps in Switzerland 2025
