DevOps
Make releasing and running the product part of the plan.
Scope
Deployments, recovery and day-to-day operation
Understand the environment
Review hosting, access, configuration and the dependencies required to build and run the product.
Improve the release process
Define repeatable deployment steps, environment checks and a rollback approach appropriate to the application.
Prepare for operation
Agree monitoring, alert handling, backup and recovery responsibilities. Validate the important recovery steps.
Infrastructure belongs in the delivery scope
For MERP/PREP, we took responsibility for DevOps alongside the web, mobile and backend rewrite. The delivery team reports a cutover without service interruption and 90% lower AWS costs after modernization.
That is a result from this project, not a saving we promise for every environment. For your system, we first need to see the architecture, workload, bills and release process. Read the MERP/PREP case.
Before we take on the environment
Can you work with our current infrastructure?
We start by reviewing the environment, deployment process, access and dependencies. The recommendation may retain the hosting setup and improve how it is operated; a cloud migration is not assumed.
Does this include round-the-clock support?
Support hours, response expectations, incident ownership and escalation are agreed separately. A deployment pipeline or monitoring tool does not establish a 24/7 support service.
What makes a release difficult today?
Walk us through the last deployment or incident. We can discuss the checks, responsibilities and recovery steps that need attention.
