Welcome back to DevOps Decrypted, where, in our first show of the year, we discuss the State of Resilience 2025, a new report from Cockroach Labs. We used it as a springboard for a deep discussion on cyber security, the CrowdStrike event of 2024, and the increased awareness around digital resilience.

Jobin, Laura, and Matt discuss the return of on-prem and data centre repatriation, the tyranny of "all the apps", and vendor lock-in. This fascinating topic highlights just how easily the complex systems we rely on can crumble with just one small point of failure.

So – are you ready for the next CrowdStrike? Listen in now, and if you want to share your experiences with us, email us at DevOpsdecrypted@adaptavist.com.

In this lighter episode of DevOps Decrypted, Jon and Jobin meet to discuss a heavy subject: the massive CrowdStrike outage of summer 2024. Everyone in tech (and many outside of the industry) remembers the day it happened. But what have we all learned from it?

Well, we might have the answers. Adaptavist surveyed more than 400 participants from medium and large organisations, all of whom were affected by the CrowdStrike outage. Some of the results are pretty thought-provoking. Jon and Jobin run through the findings of our exclusive report, revealing what actions have been taken since—and whether they'll be enough to survive the next inevitable crisis.

In this episode, our Adaptavist panel is joined by a very special guest – Frank Merla from BetaNXT. Together, we discuss an extensive business transformation case study that we carried out at BetaNXT, the complexities of transitioning from legacy systems to a modernised, scalable platform, and how, in the end, it all comes down to people.

Frank shares BetaNXT’s journey, highlighting the challenges of driving change across multiple business units with distinct processes and long-standing workflows. We discuss the importance of having internal champions to encourage adoption and reflect on the impact of AI tools and security considerations.

This episode goes deep into Adaptavist’s approach to organisational transformation, and how frequently incorporating valuable insights from a hands-on client such as Frank at BetaNXT will lead to a successful transformation.
