How DevOps Contributes to Your Product Success
Optimization and automation are the core DevOps forces driving value to your solution
Predictable and measurable processes
Established DevOps practices regulate and automate the whole process, from idea inception to implementation. This makes all stages predictable and measurable, which allows for their monitoring and enhancement.
Continuous improvements
DevOps aims at continuous system monitoring, change implementation, and process improvement to ensure a reliable workflow and optimal solution performance.
Faster time-to-market
Well-configured DevOps processes minimize manual tasks and provide a clear and predictable sequence of actions for all team members, accelerating product development and deployment.
Focus on product
With automation of repetitive tasks and reasonable resource allocation, DevOps practices free your team from time-consuming tasks to focus on developing and improving the product.
DevOps CI/CD Pipelines Implementation
Unlock efficiency and reliability with CI/CD integrations
DevOps Continuous Integration (CI)
CI is focused on integrating code changes frequently and automatically, catching and addressing integration issues early in the development process:
- automated builds for version control systems to compile the code and run tests;
- automated testing is performed to ensure that existing functionality isn’t broken by new code changes.
Continuous Deployment/Delivery (CD)
CD streamlines communicating code changes to users with automatic deployment to a variety of environments, including production:
- deployment pipelines ensure that changes are thoroughly validated before reaching the production environment;
- monitoring and rollback for detecting and eliminating issues in production.
How HQSoftware can
help
Working with skilled HQSoftware DevOps engineers, you set up established and reliable DevOps CI/CD pipelines that:
- automate repetitive and manual operations;
- standardize development approaches to ensure consistency;
- reduce errors;
- speed up releases.
DevSecOps with HQSoftware
Types of security scanning techniques we perform
Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
A form of white-box testing for inspecting source code for potential security vulnerabilities, such as memory leaks or SQL injection, before code deployment. With SAST, our specialists ensure:
- early issue recognition;
- prevention of releasing insecure code into production;
- fast feedback to the responsible person to speed up bug fixing;
- reduced cost of error mitigation.
Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)
A type of black-box testing to examine an app for potential external threats through simulated cyberattacks. Dynamic testing identifies issues that cannot be detected by static methods and requires in-depth knowledge of DevOps engineers due to complex setups. When implementing DAST for our clients, we:
- protect solutions from hacker attacks;
- ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations;
- detect misconfigurations;
- establish solution security in all environments.
Infrastructure as a Code (IaaC) in DevOps
- Since the IaaC approach treats infrastructure as software, it enables rapid infrastructure deployment and modifications, ensuring its consistency and reproducibility.
- Through IaaC DevOps practices, our specialists automate manual tasks, enable infrastructure scalability, speed up software deployment, and reduce infrastructure costs.
- We work with Terraform, an open-source IaaC tool, to create and provision infrastructure resources in the cloud. Terraform supports multi-cloud management, including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, and offers version control for effective collaboration.
- Our DevOps engineers can combine IaaC with other DevOps services, such as CI/CD pipelines implementation, to automate, optimize, and standardize software development and deployment at all levels.
Kubernetes (k8s) Implementation
Choice No.1 for handling production deployments without overheads
The Power of Kubernetes
Kubernetes (k8s), an open-source container orchestration DevOps platform, acts as a container scheduler and optimizer to ensure digital services run reliably and can easily grow when needed. This results in:
- the ability to scale in response to changing user demand;
- optimized resource utilization;
- simplified updating process;
- adaptability to new technologies;
- cost savings for business.
Managed Kubernetes
Cloud-based managed Kubernetes allows businesses to leverage the technology without the complexities of setting up and maintaining Kubernetes clusters from scratch:
- ease of use;
- reduced maintenance overhead;
- cost-effectiveness.
HQSoftware as a Kubernetes Service Provider
With the expertise of our DevOps specialists, you can benefit from:
- oth managed Kubernetes and technology setup from scratch;
- adaptability to your infrastructure, whether on-premises or in the cloud;
- cost savings through resource optimization;
- accelerated release cycles.
SRE DevOps Approach
Achieve high system availability with SRE practices
Advanced notification system
A notification system allows for timely or even proactive responses to product issues before releases.
Enhanced scalability
SRE principles promote the design of inherently scalable systems capable of handling increased traffic without a significant drop in performance.
Improved system reliability
Clear system performance objectives, best practices, proactive monitoring, and automation minimize service disruptions and deliver a more reliable and resilient user experience.
Smart resource allocation
With repetitive task automation, work prioritization, capacity planning, and continuous improvement, SRE can optimize resource utilization and enhance system reliability without requiring significant additional resources.
DevOps as a Bridge Between Dev Team and Business
Implementing effective DevOps practices may require not only technical changes but also process adjustments. Therefore, DevOps specialists always closely collaborate with both dev teams and business representatives:
- continuous studying and analysis of customer requirements
- establishing cohesive collaboration among development, operations, and stakeholders
- facilitating knowledge sharing
- encouraging formation of cross-functional teams
- creating feedback loops to provide insights into system performance
- establishing shared DevOps metrics visible to both development and operations teams
