Approved transfer of Depot operations from Justin to Steve team

Situation

Approved transferring Depot operations from Justin team to Steve team as a test of Steve team SRE capabilities. Justin team will define the architecture for moving Depot to object storage, then hand off execution to Steve team who will own provisioning, infrastructure, and monitoring.

Reasoning

Justin team should be focused on higher-value engineering work, not ops maintenance. This tests whether Steve team can handle SRE responsibilities - a capability worth building. Comfortable with the possibility of failure as a learning opportunity. Separating architecture decisions (Justin) from execution (Steve) creates clearer ownership. Frees up engineering capacity for H1 goals.

Additional Context

Part of freeing up engineering for higher-value work during H1 crunch. Steve team taking on SRE responsibilities is a capability test.

Observed Evidence

From meeting: Justin team will transfer Depot operations to Steve team, freeing up engineering for higher-value work. This is a test of Steve team SRE capabilities. Justin team will define the architecture for moving Depot to object storage, then hand off execution to Steve team. Steve team will own provisioning, infrastructure, and monitoring. Peter supports trying this transfer, even if it fails, to learn and adapt.
