As we kick off 2026, I’m reflecting on what made last year significant for OpsWerks and for the platform, DevOps, and SRE teams we serve. I’m also excited about the opportunities that lie ahead to help other teams.
We refreshed our website. Published case studies showcasing real outcomes. Launched The OpsWerks Runtime newsletter. Grew our LinkedIn presence.
But more importantly, we significantly expanded our footprint within existing teams.
This year’s theme for us is Up for Excellence and I’m super excited about what that means.
The numbers tell a compelling story about why we’re excited about 2026 and beyond.
Platform engineering’s moment, and OpsWerks’ opportunity. Gartner forecasts that by 2026, 80% of large software engineering organizations will establish platform engineering teams up from 45% in 2022.
This isn’t hype; it’s recognition that modern software delivery requires dedicated infrastructure teams who treat platforms as products, not projects.
We’ve delivered managed services that help them operate and support mission-critical systems at scale.
as the trusted partner to the world’s most demanding platform and infrastructure DevOps and SRE teams.
Not weekly timecards, random bodies or headcount.
Our team is energized and ready. We’ve proven the model works at scale with the world’s most demanding infrastructure teams.
We’ve expanded significantly within existing customer organizations because the results speak for themselves.
Now we’re focused on identifying other platform, DevOps, and SRE teams facing the same impossible math; teams running business-critical systems where downtime isn’t an option, where hiring 10 engineers for 24/7 coverage isn’t realistic, and where excellence shouldn’t require heroics.
With Gartner predicting $723.4 billion in public cloud spending this year (up 21.5% from 2024), the infrastructure you’re managing is only getting more complex, more critical, and more demanding.
The talent shortage isn’t easing. The operational burden isn’t shrinking.
But the path to sustainable excellence is clearer than ever.
