Most of my day consists of:

- Logging into pgAdmin and executing SQL scripts that the development team gives me.

Running TeamCity pipelines with the exact branch and service the developers specify.

- If a new microservice is added, I usually copy an existing Docker setup, change the service name and a few values based on the information the dev team provides, and that's about it.

Everything is already documented or handed over to me step by step. It honestly feels like the developers could do these tasks themselves in a few minutes.

I've tried understanding the application's architecture, but it's so large and complex that I struggle to make sense of it. Because of that, I often feel like I'm just following instructions without really understanding what I'm doing.

Is this normal in some DevOps roles, or am I missing something? Has anyone else been in a similar situation? If so, how did you grow beyond just executing predefined tasks?

Has any one won gift cards from scratch card?

My boost showing 0 steps and 0 swc received even though I walked 4k steps in 40 mins of 2 boosts.

I've been working as a DevOps engineer, but lately I can't shake the feeling that I'm not really doing DevOps.
