What is DevOps?
The DevOps methodology (approach) is aimed at automation of software building, configuration, and deployment processes. It optimizes creation and updates of software products and services. The principal idea of DevOps, which every team employs as a culture of product creation, is based on deep correlation of product creation and software operation.
Currently, a DevOps engineer is usually a person who is responsible for stable and correct operation of a product's IT infrastructure and helps the development team seamlessly deliver the program code to the production server.
What are the actual tasks of DevOps? Nowadays, the main DevOps tasks faced by the engineers are to help development teams with issues related to fast delivery of IT product functionality to end users, to resolve infrastructure issues, as well as to configure and maintain service tools, such as monitoring services. Following the correct and optimized DevOps processes helps the development avoid wasting extra time for unnecessary interactions with the infrastructure.
If you don't have a DevOps team, you can outsource DevOps tasks or oustaff a DevOps specialist or an entire DevOps team. Software Cats' skilled DevOps specialists will be happy to offer the most suitable solution to your DevOps needs based on their extensive experience.

The scope of DevOps is very wide. A single expert or even a single team can’t know everything. We dive into the customer’s tasks to find the fastest way to ensure effective development processes, to implement and maintain them. We build a team and, if necessary, involve specialists from our Development and Testing departments. Our goal is to help the customer get the best result in the shortest time possible.

Q&A
A development team needs a DevOps engineer even before the development begins—at the stage of IT product implementation planning. An experienced DevOps engineer can help:
Thorough consideration of all these issues from the very beginning is key to ensure smooth business operations and development in the future. For example, if scalability mechanisms are not built in from the start, the cost of their implementation in an already operational IT product can be significantly higher.
- choose a basis for your infrastructure (cloud / own hardware);
- plan the infrastructure architecture depending on the load profile;
- lay the groundwork for system scalability and load balancing;
- ensure infrastructure fault tolerance and configure debugging tools;
- set up multiple environments for development (stage, dev, prod);
- set up a process for functions delivery to production (CI/CD);
- set up monitoring and log collection and provide the monitoring dashboards needed for business and development;
- optimize the cost of cloud infrastructure;
- and much more.
Thorough consideration of all these issues from the very beginning is key to ensure smooth business operations and development in the future. For example, if scalability mechanisms are not built in from the start, the cost of their implementation in an already operational IT product can be significantly higher.
We provide a full range of services in the Linux stack, working with both cloud and hardware servers. We design a fault-tolerant infrastructure before starting the work and refactor existing infrastructures if they do not meet business needs. Based on our experience, we can recommend the right tools for solving business and development tasks.
Our DevOps team has successfully completed more than 50 projects with different stacks and requirements. We know from experience which tools better fit for each task and challenge in business and development.

SImple Solutions
We always choose the simplest tools for the client's needs. For example, we won’t recommend using massive and complex systems for small projects with modest plans for growth. But if these projects are expected to grow rapidly, our recommendation may be different—using other tools may be justified in the future. We plan not only for the present day, but also validate proposed solutions and tools against future business goals.
Vast Experience
We have experience in working with a large number of diverse clients with different stacks and requirements—from large federal corporations to small startups with limited budgets but high demands for auto-scaling under the load in completely different areas.
Optimization
We have specialists of various levels and costs who can be brought into a project as needed. For example, a senior-level specialist is needed for infrastructure design and auditing, but their involvement is completely unjustified for simple tasks like monitoring configuration, which would require only a middle or junior engineer.

We set up an online meeting to understand the gist of the problem and suggest possible solutions. After the discussion, we prepare a quotation which describes the tools to be used and documents all important information, such as the engagement model (fixed price / time and materials), the cost, and other details. If you accept the quotation, we draft and sign a contract, establish all channels necessary for interaction, and start working.
Depending on the task, we offer the most convenient formats to our clients. If you have your own management, we can provide you with the outstaff services. If you have a clear and well-defined task or your company has a project manager, we can offer you the outsourcing services. Many clients prefer to work on a fixed-price basis, when the cost of our work is known beforehand. We can use this format for some projects, for example, when it is necessary to build an infrastructure from scratch. However, in some cases, such as when the task is to find the cause of failures in environments or to seriously redesign an existing malfunctioning infrastructure, or other similar tasks where it is impossible to give a reliable estimate due to a large number of nuances, we work on the Time and Material basis.
