You forgot something for the mobile strategy, something for web stats, something for monitoring, something for source control, something for issue management, something which shall remain nameless for team communication that breaks store and forward and interrupts you constantly, something for 'social', etc. Oh wait, and your infrastructure automation solution. And your third party DDoS protection/web cache integration... and all of this is TRULY NORMAL. We are underpaid.

You forgot containers, and a platform for orchestrating(?) or swarming or cat-herding or whatever it is one does with a gaggle of microservices.

You forgot integrating all of that, keeping it integrated (aka working) as versions of pieces change, and debugging it all.
