DevOps and platform engineering teams often believe they’ve solved scalability with “push-button” onboarding. However, tools that clone templates, such as internal developer portals, merely automate the creation of technical debt. The moment a pipeline is copied, it drifts. Six months later, making an update across 100 services means managing 100 separate pull requests — or convincing 100 teams to make a change. In this session, our host Chris Pirillo welcomed Harness’ Eric Minick and Choice Hotels’ Stephen Cihak for a spirited discussion on why copying CI/CD templates creates technical debt and leads to operational paralysis (the “scaffolding trap”). Watch now and you’ll also learn why the future of DevOps scaling isn’t about copying YAML; it’s about inheriting it.
