Who are we?

We are data scientists, SREs, software engineers, and DevOps professionals working within the Operate First framework on Open Source software with Open Operations and infrastructure.
We are focused on solving large scale operational issues around developing intelligent applications and managing hybrid cloud systems through the application of advanced automation and machine learning.
In short, we are building an all-Open Source community cloud as the best and clear way to understand and solve common, interrelated problems, while documenting the methods and practices of running a cloud.

Some of our communities!

The number of communities and projects working withing the Operate First framework is constantly growing. And so are the different topics and usecases. You can use the idea, the platform, our governance and templates, or build something completely different upon the philosophy of Operate First. Contribute the way you like.

Data Science
Before we attempt to apply any AI or machine learning techniques to improve the CI workflow, it is important that we know how to both quantify and evaluate the current state of the CI workflow. In order to do this we must establish and collect the relevant metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) needed to measure it. This is a critical first step as it allows us to quantify the state of CI operations, as well as apply the KPIs we will need to evaluate the impact of our AI tools in the future.
