DevOps Services

DevOps Consulting and Services.

Software development infrastructure is closely connected with its monitoring, maintenance, support and improvement, which becomes more and more costly over time. And almost every company eventually comes to the decision point – how to simplify the existing infrastructure management process?

DevOps helps to reform the infrastructure by performing collaborative actions between the Operations Teams and Software Engineers. This is achieved by automating and optimizing the IT operations and establishing a smooth communication between team members. As a consequence DevOps implementation allows to achieve your business goals: cut down on expenses, speed up deployment process and improve quality of software maintenance. It also enables development teams to work with up-to-date technologies, less risks and more flexibility, which helps to build more effective infrastructure system.

Our professional DevOps team works in close collaboration with all involved company structures (business, development and operation) in order to build effective and secure infrastructure system that can be seamlessly embedded into any specific company with its own needs and restrictions.

DevOps Consulting

We start with revealing business goals and eliciting requirements in order to fully meet all needs of a specific client.

Implement DevOps to stay always ahead of your game

DevOps Automation Services

We provide the full set of services to automate various aspects of software development process. Our experts embed useful tools and customize them to accelerate delivery, improve quality and reduce project costs of a specific project.

And as the system grows further it becomes only more complicated.

The centralized logging solution can be a winning option for a number of specialists:

the application developers investigating incidents;
customer support team searching for a lost transaction reported by a customer complaint;
the security Team;
the business managers demanding statistics, trends and aggregated info (BI).

But in fact different incidents may cause the unavailability of these services and have a negative impact on the application.

24/7 Monitoring helps to manage the availability of applications and all involved components as well as to analyze the problems efficiently and in due time.

Version management works with the following:

configuration settings (.conf, .cfg, .ini, etc.);
templates (e.g., web page layouts, forms, etc.);
rules (e.g., access, permissions, processing, filtering, scheduling, etc.);
shared inclusions (e.g., headers, footers, menus, etc.);
documentation (e.g., technical specs, user guides, operations guides, etc.);
web sites.

Version control system relies upon a central repository for storing and tracking changes in managed entities (GIT, SVN, etc.). Developers can download portions of the central repository into their own local workspaces, make the required changes in code and commit them back into the central repository.

The goal of Continuous Delivery is to create a flow of constantly making changes that can be quickly implemented into different environments and products without human operations - via an automated software delivery system.

No doubt CD should be reliable and incrementally improving to increase stability of delivery, reduce time and decrease costs of delivery.

DevOps has all required tools for it:

System Access & Users - Automated verifying of user access policies allows to reduce the risk of human errors that could result in insider threats.
Code Quality Control & Penetration Testing - The different automatic code review tools are aimed to detect bugs or vulnerabilities in your code. Such tools can be integrated with your existing Continuous Delivery workflow to provide continuous code inspection across all project branches.

It's the most important element within deployment stage, as it defines where and how the application will run. This part of work can be done manually, but manual operations require more time for preparing infrastructure and making all configuration settings that your application needs for work.

DevOps tools and practices help to minimize average time of environment preparation, reduce service complexity, achieve greater service efficiency and cut down costs.

Benefits of DevOps implementation

Accelerate Product Time to Market

Launch of new software products can be a real challenge for many companies. This process is often associated with lengthy and costly testing, bugs fixing and time losses. Acceleration of product Time to Market provides a number of business benefits that can be achieved through improved software development process, test automation and CI&CD integration.

Quick Response to Market Changes

One of the fundamental principles of IT industry is its high speed development. New tools are constantly appearing, while the previous practices and frameworks are becoming obsolete and require revision. That is why it is important to have the established DevOps structure that can be flexibly modified to work with new features and easily implemented in existing projects

Decrease Overall Project Costs

As your product becomes more complicated and its code lines number continues to grow, the cost of "manual" testing and product deployment process increases correspondingly. More and more efforts are being spent on its support. The introduction of CI&CD integration and automation tools allows to support ever-growing products with lower costs while implementation of automated tests and unification of code deployment processes allow to save resources in course of time.

Free Up Time for Creative Work

As far as your product moves through the life cycle stages it requires more and more time for development servicing, testing, deployment and post-release support processes. All this, in turn, requires more human resources. Implementation of DevOps practices allows to use the working time in a more effective way. You will free up your engineers from the routine processes and allow them to make more useful work on optimizing systems and processes.

Integrate Security from the Beginning

Providing security of the application development process by using DevOps is an effective way to improve the quality of your product. One of the signs of secure development is, for example, automatic load testing to penetrate into the application code in the course of which the testing team performs an automatic or manual test to penetrate into the application from the outside.

Effective Risk Management

Possibility of flexible response to changes is a mandatory option in reducing the number of defects across the product life cycle and saving money on their correction. Usage of the effective monitoring tools helps to identify the quality concerns at early stage while the automation of processes decreases the risk of security issues caused by human errors.

Searching for a particular error across a number of log files stored on several servers is a difficult task, especially if you have no appropriate tools and central repository for logs collection.

Up-to-date applications use a lot of services like SQL databases, external web services, queues, caching or cloud providers, that must be available all the time.

Version management and control is an important DevOps tool that allows to track and control changes in related entities effectively within developing process.

Continuous Delivery automation and optimization (CD) is a crucial part of DevOps methodology that provides software developers with possibility to deliver new features to customer as fast and efficiently as possible.

Providing the high level of security within all stages of product development and maintenance process is the only way to build sustainable infrastructure that will support your products and team over the long term.

The application environment includes infrastructure and its configuration.
