[Verse 1]
They say we need to tear the walls apart
No more throwing code across the yard
"You build it, you run it" is the battle cry
But legacy systems make developers sigh
Fifteen years of metal, scripts so old
Custom deployments, stories left untold
[Chorus]
Own your pipelines, own your stack
Infrastructure as your code pack
Observability in your sight
On-call rotations through the night
But when does ownership break down?
Not every team can wear the crown
[Verse 2]
Cloud-native shops with tools standardized
Engineering maturity, teams synchronized
Service boundaries clean and well-defined
Operational ownership by design
Hire developers ready for the call
This model works when conditions align for all
[Chorus]
Own your pipelines, own your stack
Infrastructure as your code pack
Observability in your sight
On-call rotations through the night
But when does ownership break down?
Not every team can wear the crown
[Bridge]
HIPAA breathing down your neck
SOC2 needs that audit check
Separation keeps compliance tight
Access controls must be just right
Small teams drowning in the load
Cognitive overhead explodes
[Verse 3]
Dedicated DevOps recreates the divide
Just Dev and Ops with new names to hide
But legacy chains and compliance rules
Make universal ownership lose its tools
Specialization has its rightful place
Context determines the winning race
[Chorus]
Own your pipelines, own your stack
Infrastructure as your code pack
Observability in your sight
On-call rotations through the night
But when does ownership break down?
Choose your model, claim your crown
[Outro]
Build it, run it, know the cost
Find the balance, nothing's lost
Context matters, choose your way
DevOps ownership here to stay
