MyFluiditi delivers DevOps and CI/CD automation services for US engineering teams to accelerate releases, improve reliability, enhance security, and scale faster. All customers expect both frequent software updates, consistent performance, and no interruptions in service. At the same time, competition has increased significantly across all sectors of the economy including SaaS, FinTech, Health Care, e-Commerce, and Enterprise Software Development. This is why DevOps and CI/CD automation services have evolved into critical components of every organization’s success.
DevOps has moved beyond simply being a common term used in US technology circles; it has become a movement that represents an evolution of thought in how development and operations groups can come together around common goals of speed, stability, and ongoing process improvement.
The combination of DevOps and CI/CD Automation now enables US engineering organizations to transition from slow manual deployment methods to consistent, reliable, and fast release cycles. MyFluiditi provides assistance for US-based organizations that are looking to adopt, implement, expand and improve their use of both DevOps and CI/CD automation pipelines which can be utilized to address real-world engineering complexities rather than theoretical use cases.
For organizations based in the US, DevOps encompasses more than just the use of some new tooling. The goal of DevOps is to create systems for software delivery that are automated, reusable, and resilient through the alignment of People, Processes, and Platforms.
DevOps automation enables engineering teams to reduce or eliminate delays associated with manual hand-off or transfer of accountability for completed work to other departments, resolve issues caused by configuration drift from the physical infrastructure to the software application environment, and remove inconsistencies introduced by variances in deployed environments (e.g. dev, QA, and prod). CI/CD automation stabilizes and continuously improves an organization’s software development life cycle through the integration of all components of the process into a single, controlled, reliable, and repeatable supply chain where quality can be evaluated before release.
At MyFluiditi, we develop DevOps methods (strategies) grounded in authentic business objectives. Faster releases are important, but so too are uptime/cost effectiveness and customer experiences. Through the use of intelligent CI/CD pipeline technology, engineering teams in the US will have complete visibility into all aspects of their software lifecycle—from commit to production—and remain compliant to all governance and auditability standards.
The CI/CD automation process begins with “continuous integration,” or frequent merges of code by developers into a shared repository. Automated builds and tests occur after each change, allowing for immediate validation of each change and promoting early defect detection when they are less expensive to remediate. This practice can save engineering teams (US) thousands of hours of work every year.
Continuous delivery/deployment expand on this automation process by ensuring validated builds are always in a “deployable” state. By enforcing appropriate approval, monitoring and rollback procedures, teams (US) can confidently push changes to production. MyFluiditi works with each organization to develop CI/CD workflows based upon an organization’s risk tolerance, compliance requirements, and release procedure.
Cloud-based solutions have altered the way that DevOps function in the United States. With most engineers in the United States using either AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud (or a combination of all three), there is a huge reliance on cloud platforms. Infrastructure Automation with DevOps via IaC allows for consistent creation of infrastructure through the use of configuration drift prevention. In addition, it will also help create environments to be created on demand.
To assist organizations with implementing DevOps through Cloud Native Services, MyFluiditi is providing support to organizations with DevOps pipelines, coupled with Automated Provisioning, Automated Scaling and Monitoring, for their engineering teams to focus more time on innovation as opposed to managing their infrastructure. Start-Ups and mid-sized companies looking to scale without exponentially increasing operational expenses will find this approach particularly beneficial.
DevOps is a cultural change. Many engineering teams in the US have siloed roles within teams (development, operations, QA, security). MyFluiditi helps organizations adopt DevOps practices to bring people together through collaboration, shared responsibility, and continuous learning. Automation becomes a mechanism to bridge the gap between teams and develop trust in the systems and processes used by each team.
Using CI/CD automation allows US teams working in multiple time zones and with distributed teams the ability to produce consistent code regardless of who commits it or when. The reliability of this code is important for organizations that are scaling up their engineering operations across multiple states or internationally.
The other advantage of DevOps automation for US companies is cost savings. Manual processes are expensive and often create errors. Automating your pipeline makes it less likely you will have to redo work, reduces time to recovery from downtime, and helps you maximize the use of your infrastructure. Automated scaling and cloud cost monitoring provides a way for you to ensure you are using your resources efficiently.
In the context of U.S. organizations that want to move quickly, modern software engineering relies heavily on automation services.
At MyFluiditi, we provide automation services to support the entire software delivery process from code commit through production monitoring. U.S. companies can use automation for builds, testing, deployment, provisioning of infrastructure, and monitoring of systems to increase speed of release while increasing security and reliability. Automation creates reliable and predictable results that are necessary when providing services to clients across the U.S., where there are high performance expectations and downtime is very expensive.
On is an integral part of the larger automation service landscape. With traditional manual testing, it’s impossible to keep pace with the rapid pace of software change, including multiple releases each week. Automated Test Suites (ATS) are an effective way to provide continuous validation of all key aspects of software applications during the CI/CD pipeline to ensure they meet the basic requirements of functionality, performance, and security. For U.S.
Engineering teams delivering software to hundreds of millions of end users, using automated test suites greatly reduces the risk of production failures and production defects that affect customers.
Automation services
U.S. companies are using automation service offerings as the framework for software engineering in today’s environment so they can operate quickly and efficiently.
Automation services also improve deployment strategies, as many of the methods used to deploy code (e.g., blue-green deployments, rolling updates, and canary releases) are being automated to minimize the risk of failure when deploying code to production.
In addition, if a deployment fails, automated rollback procedures can be initiated within minutes, thus restoring the previous version with little to no disruption to operation or customers. This level of automation is critical for U.S.-based businesses that are large enough to operate at scale and cannot afford long periods of downtime for their customers.
Automated security has become increasingly important in the U.S. market due to the increased threat and regulatory compliance requirements associated with cyber-attacks.
As a result, several companies are using automated monitoring solutions to monitor multiple aspects of their applications, including application performance, infrastructure health, and user experience, at all times.
With the help of automated capacity management systems (CMSs), engineering teams in the United States can control their costs and ensure that they are only paying for what they are actually using. By utilizing automated scale and automatically allocating resources, businesses are able to reduce waste due to over-provisioning and have access to a real-time view of resource usage from a finance perspective. Additionally, engineers are typically able to reduce manual efforts spent on setting up their environments and verifying their applications.
Startups use automation to enable rapid scaling and growth, without the risk of losing control over their operations. Established businesses derive benefits from using automation to create stable environments across complex systems and large teams. MyFluiditi delivers automation services based on an organization’s level of maturity and strategy (e.g., speed, compliance, growth potential), and what their organization requires in terms of automation.
Automation has become more than just a one-time implementation of technology; it is now an ongoing process that continually evolves with the needs of the business. MyFluiditi provides an implementation model for continuous optimization of automation processes and improved performance using automated processes and the introduction of efficiencies, as new technologies and business requirements arise. As a result, engineering teams in the United States can remain agile and adaptable to future growth opportunities.
In the competitive landscape of the United States, businesses need to have their customers’ expectations in mind when they are designing their software applications. They also have to keep customer satisfaction high, even when they are experiencing a downtime event.
With the use of DevOps and Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) automation, businesses have the ability to achieve that high level of reliability and flexibility needed by the customers, on a consistent basis. MyFluiditi’s experience with a wide variety of industries in the United States gives them the ability to create a solution that is technically sound, and also aligned to meet the goals of the business.
