The well-known DevOps Topologies patterns for assessing team relationships for modern software delivery have been used by organizations around the world.
Created by Conflux founder Matthew Skelton in 2013 (and expanded since with community input), the DevOps Topologies patterns have helped organizations such as Netflix, Condé Nast International, adidas, and Accenture to improve their software delivery and operations capabilities.
“Your topological models resonated extremely well on both the Dev and Ops side btw! I like the balanced arguments, e.g. different perspectives, for each pattern.”
“thanks for your insightful articulations of devops topologies. They inspired many discussions and helped us to think about what model Netflix teams could be/are using.”

Background to the DevOps Topologies
In 2013, Matthew Skelton (now Head of Consulting at Conflux) published the original DevOps topologies patterns which have become the industry standard for discussing the merits and drawbacks of different team designs for software delivery. Since 2015, Matthew Skelton and Manuel Pais have been curating the DevOps topologies patterns at devopstoplogies.com
The DevOps Topologies patterns compare and contrast effective and ineffective patterns for organizing teams for modern software delivery. These patterns are point-in-time snapshots of team relationships.
