Production team tasks so boring compared to greenfield team /u/leeliop CSCQ protests reddit

Moved to a prod team and its very bland, we make small changes and bug fixes and have to spend half the day creating proof that its ready for release for committee (a lot of legacy so sometimes testing is missing), and its basically shuttling between Go and AWS all day. Yet the features team get experience with Kubernetes, snowflake, python, db tech, llms etc with super high velocity due to no friction which apart from being fun is also great for marketability. I am starting to feel a bit irritated like we are the least favourite kid at christmas, and one person has already left. How do managers deal with this? Is it usual to carve up teams in this manner?
