Self-Service

What is Self-Service?

Self-service is an operating model for infrastructure software focused on empowering application developers to safely make infrastructure changes. In the full cycle development model, application developers need to operate what they build. These developers need specific controls and visibility over infrastructure software. In the self-service model, developers are able to manage infrastructure software without assistance from dedicated operations team.
