Rundeck: The Swiss Army Knife of Automation

How small teams can scale operations without scaling chaos

A few weeks ago, I gave a webinar with the PagerDuty team to talk about something I’ve come to rely on heavily in my consulting work: automation.

More specifically — how small teams can punch above their weight with the right automation strategy, and why Rundeck continues to be a secret weapon in my toolkit.

We covered:

• ✅ Where Rundeck shines compared to traditional Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs)
• 🛠️ How to create just enough self-service for your team (without over-engineering)
• 💡 Real-world examples from consulting work with early-stage startups

Whether you’re a DevOps engineer, tech lead, or founder, this talk is full of insights on scaling engineering operations with less chaos and more clarity.
