Why this exists
Most people learning DevOps in 2025 face the same problem: the field is huge, the resources are scattered, and there's no clear answer to "what do I actually build?" You bounce between YouTube playlists, free courses, and Reddit threads, and six months later you still aren't sure if you're job-ready.
DevOps Journey Tracker collapses that mess into one workflow. A structured roadmap, a planner that holds you accountable, a curated resource list, real portfolio projects, and a daily-refreshed blog feed so you stay current. It's the tool I built for myself — and then made public.
Who's building this
Hi — I'm Elerian, an aspiring DevOps engineer building this in public while I learn. Everything you see here is shaped by my own study path: what worked, what wasted my time, and what I'd give my past self if I could.
I'm not a hiring manager and I won't pretend to be. What I am is a learner who's been deep in the same trenches — and who cares enough about the next person walking in to make the path clearer.
What I care about
Free & open
Every page, project plan, and interview question is free — no paywall, no signup wall on public content.
Real over theoretical
We focus on what hiring managers actually look for: shipped projects, working pipelines, and clear explanations.
Built in public
The roadmap, the article list, and the changelog are all visible — you see the same view a learner does.
How it's built
The site is a TanStack Start application (React 19 + Vite 7) deployed on Cloudflare Workers, with a Postgres backend, server-side rendering for every public page, and a daily-refreshed blog feed pulled from trusted DevOps sources. The whole stack is the kind of thing you'd build as a portfolio project — which, in a way, it is.
Start your journey
If any of this resonates, the best next step is to look at the career guide, browse interview questions, and start tracking your progress in the dashboard.
