My experience with DevOps has been they know a lot about deploying and securing Java, or Kotlin, or Python but they know scant about node js and its tooling and often refuse to learn the ecosystem

This leads to the node js teams to have to learn DevOps anyway because the DevOps teams do a subpar job with it otherwise.

Same with doing frontend builds and such. In other languages I’ve noticed (particularly Java / Kotlin) DevOps teams maintain the build tools and configurations around it for the most part. The same has not been true for the node ecosystem, whether it’s backend or Frontend
