DevOps Development Services We Provide

Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery

Implement a continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline to improve code quality, speed up time to market, and boost collaboration. A cornerstone of DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines improve software efficiency and reliability.

We employ a variety of continuous integration, deployment automation, continuous monitoring, and configuration management tools to build an efficient CI/CD pipeline. Tools like Jenkins, Spinnaker, and Ansible help us solidify a pipeline that allows you to deliver software quickly and reliably.

Infrastructure Management

Manage and maintain your software and infrastructure effectively. In DevOps, infrastructure management is key to operational efficiency.

Infrastructure management requires many moving parts. Balancing automation and manual techniques, we optimize, monitor, and configure technology resources and processes. Our toolkit includes Terraform for Nagios for network management, Docker for containerization and orchestration, Prometheus for monitoring and logging, and more. 

Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

Practicing IaC means automating traditional IT practices, improving efficiency, consistency, and scalability and reducing human error. Code-based infrastructure involves using high-level, descriptive coding instead of manual setup, configuration, and management of resources and infrastructure.

Using tools like Terraform, Ansible, and Chef we apply IaC practices to cloud environments, microservices, and more.

Automated Testing

Automated testing reduces the chances of human error and allows you to evaluate your software faster. In DevOps, it enables faster feedback, early bug detection, and rapid, reliable software release cycles.

We validate the functionality, security, performance, and other aspects of your application using tools like Selenium, JUnit/TestNG, Jest/Mocha, Cucumber, and more. We conduct a full suite of tests, from unit tests to security tests.

Security Management (DevSecOps)

Manage risks proactively. Enhance security. DevSecOps (development, security, and operations) embeds security throughout the software development lifecycle, making it a shared responsibility.

Following the principles and practices of automated security testing, infrastructure as code security, compliance monitoring, threat modeling, and more, we ensure that DevOps solutions are safeguarded against threats. We integrate these practices early on in development and perform ongoing assessments throughout the SDLC. 

Configuration Management

Maintain performance and functionality consistency throughout the software development lifecycle. Configuration management ensures that your processes and operations are repeatable.

We standardize resource configurations, automate manual processes, and confirm the consistency, stability, and security of your apps and entire infrastructure. Tools like Ansible, Puppet, and Chef help us manage configurations.

Best Practices for DevOps

Automation and Process Optimization

Implement Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD)

Implementing CI/CD involves establishing a systematic, automated process for integrating, testing, and deploying changes. These practices are the foundation of DevOps and help streamline development and delivery. 

Automate the Development and Testing Processes

Automating processes allows teams to achieve faster, more efficient, and more reliable software development. Automation also leads to faster feedback loops, allowing teams to improve quality by detecting problems earlier on. 

Perform Regular Performance Optimization

Regular performance optimization in DevOps is important because it aligns with the principles of continuous improvement and agile development. It means continuously monitoring, analyzing, and improving the performance of the software application and its underlying infrastructure. 

Infrastructure and Architecture Management

Utilize Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

IaC involves managing an provisioning your IT infrastructure through machine-readable definition files, as opposed to physical hardware configuration or interactive configuration tools. This brings automation and consistency to infrastructure deployment and management.

Adopt a Microservices Architecture

This involves transitioning from a traditional, monolithic application design to a more modular approach, in which the app is comprised of smaller, independent services. The approach aligns with automation, continuous delivery, and scalability.

Leverage Containerization and Orchestration Tools

These tools bring many benefits to DevOps development cycles, such as enhanced portability and consistency, improved scalability and efficiency, simplified configuration management, better resource utilization, and efficient configuration management.

Manage Cloud Infrastructure Efficiently

Managing cloud infrastructure efficiently involves strategic planning, automation, best practices, and continuous monitoring. Key concepts and practices include IaC, cost optimization, monitoring, performance management, scalability, elasticity, security, backup, continuous optimization, and more. 

Focus on Scalability and Load Balancing

Design and manage systems so that they can efficiently accommodate different levels of demand without compromising on performance or availability. This is important because services must be reliable and responsive in different types of scenarios. 

Security and Recovery

Integrate Security Practices Early

DevOps security practices (DevSecOps) involve implementing security measures throughout the software development lifecycle. These include code analysis and review, automated compliance checks, secrets management, dependency scanning, integrations of security testing in CI/CD, continuous monitoring, centralized logging, and more.

Establish Disaster Recovery and Backup Strategies

Disaster recovery and backup plans involve planning and implementing procedures to ensure that you can restore your data and system in case failures occur. Put strategies in place like performing risk assessments, defining recovery objectives, conducting testing, and monitoring your systems.

Collaboration and Continuous Improvement

Ensure Regular and Effective Communication Across Teams

Communication is the cornerstone of a successful DevOps pipeline. Software development that follows the approach depends on collaboration among departments and teams, including development, operations, and others.

Emphasize Collaboration and Shared Responsibility

Collaboration and shared responsibility are central to a DevOps culture. Establishing a culture of open communication and cross-functional teams and leveraging effective tools, automation, and more mean everyone is responsible for the quality and reliability of the software. 

Monitor and Log System Performance Continuously

This is critical for tracking system behavior and performance and addressing any issues that arise quickly. Practices include real-time observation, alerting and notifications, proactive issue identification, system record-keeping, error logging, performance analysis, custom reporting, and more. 

Maintain a Version Control System Effectively

Version control systems like Git allow you to track changes and collaborate more effectively with team members. Through VCS, you can see and revert to previous versions of your code.

Stay Updated with the Latest DevOps Trends and Tools

Staying abreast of the latest trends in DevOps, such as maturation as a digital transformation enabler and and increased focus on reducing waste, is important for keeping the software your create timely and of high quality.
