Whether cloud-based or not, any infrastructure requires maintenance, control, and usually improvement. We also design, configure, and maintain secure environments, set up remote access, and provide security advice.

Automated software build systems: Our DevOps engineers develop and implement various automated software build systems for such technological platforms as Java (Maven, Ant, Gradle, etc.), .NET (NAnt, etc.), mobile applications for iOS and Android, Node.js, and others.

Continuous Integration (CI)/ Continuous Delivery (CD): Our DevOps engineers set up Continuous Integration (Continuous Integration) and Continuous Delivery (Continuous Delivery) based on Jenkins / Hudson using management mechanisms such as Ansible, Chef, Puppet. This improves the quality of the software and reduces its delivery time. As a result, our specialists can use various modules, including Docker containers, for Nexus or Artifactory based repositories.

Project/Product Release Management: Our DevOps developers organize release delivery processes in collaboration with all involved teams and help set up version control (including VCS and project management systems), release planning, and delivery processes.

Monitoring and backup: Our DevOps engineers will help you organize a proactive approach to support, which allows you to minimize downtime and increase the quality of service. Zabbix, Nagios, Graphite, NewRelic, etc., can be used to monitor the infrastructure and predict possible changes. Before starting any of the actions, DevOps specialists always backup, which allows you to quickly restore the infrastructure with minimal losses in case of unforeseen situations.

Installation of third-party software systems: Also, our DevOps team can install and configure ready-made third-party solutions: relational databases, NoSQL databases, version control systems (VCS) and related infrastructure, file repositories, search platforms, message brokers, various web and application servers, project management systems and tasks, including bug tracking and many others.

Paradigm Shift: DevOps is a progressive approach aimed at the synergy between software development and infrastructure operations departments where this software is run. It allows you to achieve optimal and predictable functioning of production, more frequent releases, and better involvement of all engineers in the processes. To achieve the necessary shift in development culture, organizational measures and technical solutions are required.

Shared Values: The success of development-operations cooperation is built not only on the technical competence of all engineers involved in the project, their broad outlook, and experience but also on such important qualities as:

• Openness to interaction;
  
• Continuous learning;
• Focus on the overall result needed by the business.
• A special role is also assigned to the organization of interaction and processes.

Automation: From a technical point of view, cooperation is based on convenient communication channels and key systems that ensure the continuous delivery of changes. Delivery starts with a commit in the repository. It ends with the operation of the next release in production with everything necessary for its stable operation (including monitoring, scaling, and so on). It’s never too late! The greatest effect can be achieved if such interaction starts from the earliest stages (application architecture design and technology selection). However, a full-fledged DevOps transformation is also possible for existing projects.
