Quick anonymous survey for cloud/DevOps folks in Bahrain (under 3 mins) results shared publicly

Halla boys and gals;)

Working on some research into how cloud and DevOps teams plan and ship infrastructure from the initial idea all the way to production. If you work in tech here in Bahrain (or remotely), I’d really appreciate your input.

The survey is completely anonymous, takes under 3 minutes, and covers things like:

•	How your team plans and documents infrastructure  
•	Where mistakes or bottlenecks tend to happen  
•	What makes you trust (or not trust) a workflow

Relevant whether you’re a Cloud Architect, DevOps/Platform Engineer, SRE, Software Engineer touching infra, or even a student learning the ropes.

building something i wish existed every time i touched aws still early, need a reality check

not launching yet, just building and sharing early bc this community is good at telling people when their idea is dumb been annoyed by the same infrastructure problem on every project i've worked on. it's not a secret problem, most people who work with cloud stuff know it, but nobody's really fixed it in a way that actually sticks. spent long enough complaining about it that we decided to just build the thing

still pre-launch. small team. dropped a teaser at yamlfuneral.com if you want a hint at what we're going after the name kinda explains itself

two honest questions:

  1. is there a cloud infrastructure pain point that's so annoying you'd switch tools immediately if something fixed it

  2. what would a new devops tool need to do before you'd actually trust it in production

not looking for hype, just want to know if we're building for a real problem or one that only bothers us

does anyone actually keep their architecture diagrams up to date or have we all just accepted theyre going to be wrong

genuine question, been using terraform for deploys and cloudcraft for diagrams and the two have basically never been in sync for more than a week

someone updates the hcl, nobody updates the diagram. onboard a new dev and the diagram is lying to them from day one. tried enforcing it as a rule, lasts one sprint. tried generating diagrams from existing tf state after the fact, its clunky and lossy

curious if anyones found a workflow that actually works or if most teams have just quietly given up on diagram accuracy
