Cloud & DevOps
Choose a dedicated app development team supported by DevOps engineers to achieve maximum efficiency.
Cloud & DevOps
DevOps is a working culture focused on cooperation between developers and operations. It implies the optimization of the process and infrastructure, as well as automation of any task that can be automated. These practices allow us to increase the development speed and provide scalability, reliability and security of every app we create. We are able to maximize the efficiency of the development process and deliver a high-quality product faster.
Our team automates the process in a smart way, by eliminating all repetitive, manual tasks to speed up the process and reduce the chance of human-made mistakes. How does it look like in practice? First, developers write code, and then it is automatically integrated, tested and deployed – all without human interaction. The only thing that can disrupt automatic deployment is a bug detected during the test. In the meantime, developers focus on delivering features and QA specialists on significant improvements.
With DevOps tools and practices, development becomes a continuous process. The frequency and pace of releases are increased. Rapid development and delivery mean saving time and money, adapting to changes and improving business results. We can quickly release new features or fix bugs, respond to your customers’ needs and improve your product.
A team supported by DevOps specialists delivers better quality in a quicker way. It also allows you to compete more effectively and is especially useful if you want to enter the market fast or release new features quickly.

DevOps task is to deliver reliable products as well as maintain highly available infrastructure. Using dedicated tools and practices ensures the optimization and configuration of the work environment. Server environments are set up in the cloud. We use AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure – secure, flexible and reliable solutions. With cloud deployment, a team doesn’t waste time on infrastructure and focuses on code. Cloud infrastructure can be created in a few minutes, and it makes your app ready for the highest traffic.
DevOps teams release software in short cycles. Continuous integration and continuous deployment are the practices allowing to automate the software release process. Continuous integration automates it on the development and testing level, and continuous deployment on the level of deploying new features to you and your users.
The development process, in its traditional meaning, is only the beginning of the DevOps process, which also includes further maintenance and support. After the app is released to the app store, our tools monitor it and send alerts when something’s wrong. It allows us to react quickly and eliminate the problem before your users notice it.

Cloud Build and Google Cloud allow for serverless computing and end-to-end automation. Solutions are designed to work perfectly with DevOps practices.
AWS
Amazon Web Services (AWS) provide a flexible set of tools designed to deliver products using DevOps practices smoothly and efficiently.
Microsoft Azure
Azure gives us a set of tools to implement DevOps culture in each phase of the application lifestyle and host a scalable cloud app and API.
Firebase
Google Firebase Console allows us to scale your app to billions of users on Google Cloud and empowers DevOps by delivering Firebase Hosting, file storage and real-time database.
DevOps Process Designed for Speed and Efficiency
1. Planning
DevOps team defines features of your app and creates a backlog. The project will be managed according to the Scrum framework.
2. Development
Developers write code, and every step of writing, testing, reviewing and integrating is automated. The software is released in short cycles, with the use of highly productive tools.
3. Deployment
The process of app deployment is automated. Developers set automatic gates that push the code further without manual approval, which makes frequent delivery easy.
4. Maintenance
During monitoring and maintenance phase teams use actionable alerting to identify issues before they affect user experience and solve them immediately when they occur.
Continuous Deployment
This DevOps technique consists of frequent, automated releases of new features and functionalities as soon as they are done. Every change needs to pass a set of production stages, including continuous integration and automated tests. After that, it is released without human intervention. A failed test is the only thing that prevents automated deployment. Developers are able to focus on writing code, and there’s no need to pause for releases. Continuous deployment allows developers to respond to feedback in real-time. If users submit any bugs, they are handled immediately, and changes are deployed with no hesitation. Releasing new features is also simplified and accelerated.
Continuous Integration
It’s a DevOps practice that implies regular delivery of new code to a repository and then, automated testing. Whenever new code is integrated, automated tests launch to check if anything is broken. Developers learn about errors within a few minutes from code integration. After testing, a tool sends a code for automatic deployment. Continuous Integration allows us to find bugs quicker and reduce the time to validate and release updates. Developers are more productive, free from manual tasks, and the QA team focuses more on significant improvements, less on testing. The costs are reduced because the CI server runs hundreds of tests super fast, and the code integration process is more reliable.
Cloud Deployment
We leverage cloud technology to speed up the development and increase the app’s scalability. Serverless computing allows running apps without the need to configure and maintain servers, which means more time for creating code instead of the infrastructure. Cloud deployment implies lower cost and more efficient process. The environment can be created in minutes. To deliver this solution, we use AWS Cloud, Microsoft Azure Cloud or Google Cloud, all in line with your needs, suited to your project. Public clouds assure scalability, flexibility, 24/7 support and easy access to data.
Maintenance/Support
Our monitoring tools and alerting system watch over your app 24/7. DevOps process doesn’t end when the traditional development process does. We monitor your app’s infrastructure, bugs, code, configuration, and receive immediate notifications when something’s wrong. Developers can react immediately. Our team offers continuous quality, support and improvements.
