Engineering

Full stack Linux, DevOps, Cloud and Security engineers. At your service.

Our Approach

We have up-to-the-minute real world experience working with productive technical teams. Our engineers design, create and optimise systems that reduce operational cost and security attack surface, and improve your time to delivery. Our approach includes:

• Utilising cloud technologies into your workflow including AWS, Azure and Google Compute Engine.
• Treating config as code
• Implementing CI/CD (automation of the process pipeline between code commits and production deployments)
• Keeping business logic separate from data and configuration
• Use of API's and middleware, avoiding dipping into SQL, stdout/err or log files for IPC and preventing brittle integration
• Utilising orchestration systems (eg. SaltStack, Ansible) for configuration management and remote execution
• Utilising Docker in the dev/deploy process for improved speed, portability and maintainability
• Treating your servers as a whole rather than as individual hosts - the "cattle" rather than "pets" methodology
• Adopting software engineering principles including DRY, KISS, YAGNI, etc

Our Expertise
