I've started at a new company. They are a very large company with a medium sized web presence operating several on-line brands for a niche audience.
Generally they are a functioning company with a well established environment that is running well enough, but is ready for an overhaul. They have a mid-to-long term project to consolidate different content management systems into a unified content management system that allows for sharing of content between brands. This larger project provides an opening to perform a major face lift on the internal operations. WooHoo!
Currently releases are largely un-automated, time consuming, take place during off-hours, require quite a few people on-line to do the actual work and testing or just to be on-hand in the event something blows up. There seems to be plenty of room to implement a DevOps methodology for releases, particularly automation and measurement.
