Doit Rebrands 200-engineer FDE Practice

UPSTREAM TITLE: What Is a Forward Deployed Engineer?

SHORT SUMMARY: DoiT says it renamed its roughly 200-person Customer Reliability Engineering organization as Forward Deployed Engineering to better describe its embedded, outcome-oriented cloud and FinOps work. The practice spans AI and LLM optimization, cost, incidents, Kubernetes, migrations, and reliability, giving a concrete example of the FDE label expanding beyond frontier-model vendors.
