DevOps as a Service

As a DevOps services company, we can help you add value across your product with our DevOps managed services. Improve your business processes with a highly scalable cloud platform designed with DevOps principles in mind.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Our DevOps engineering services speed up your business growth by:

  • Removing IT infrastructure incidents
  • Duly organizing workflow
  • Automating processes
  • Accelerating delivery of new features while ensuring full control of cloud costs

Our customers benefit from our DevOps expertise and consulting services without expanding their technical staff. We work with your existing teams and include your in-house DevOps engineers in our workflow to achieve better results.

As a DevOps managed service provider, we make sure your teams have everything at hand to manage the infrastructure on their own, including infrastructure code, documentation, and all necessary knowledge. If required, there is an option of long-term DevOps maintenance and support services from our side.

Main problems of software development companies

Slow-pace development
Slow-pace development

Boost the efficiency of your teams by automating most deployment challenges. We can make your deployments more reliable by introducing the practices of CI/CD, iterating in smaller sizes, and choosing the deployment strategy that works best for your application.

Cloud migration

Legacy projects, operational challenges, and high costs can make cloud migration seem daunting. It doesn’t have to be! Our experienced cloud architects will suggest the best-suited platform for your project and help your teams transition to the new stack.

Security
Security

Putting security at the end of the development pipeline may result in tricky debugging. Organizations may have to go back in their development cycles to fix a bug, which is time-intensive and costly. Save time and ensure early bug detection with DevSecOps – the practice of built-in security integrated during all stages of the software development lifecycle, end to end.

Outdated technology stack
Outdated technology stack

Being technologically advanced means staying ahead of the competition, which is key. Reap the benefits of DevOps automation services, a faster development cycle, and seamless deployments using a state-of-the-art technology stack. Use the cutting-edge versions of tools and components and gain from the latest features available.

Take the IT load off your shoulders with our DevOps and service management. Free up your developers’ precious time to create additional value in your organization.

“What I liked about Volodymyr and Sergii is that they would figure things out. They were very proactive in finding the resolution to every little issue and figuring it out and doing the research. That was nice to see. We were leaning on them for their expertise as the process went on. I think they did a great job on that and figured out a lot of little details.”

“The problem with our project was we had so many people working on it that it was very convoluted, – comments Olexy Sadovy. – So it was tough to untangle all this mess. And I think SHALB did a great job of working with that. We had a couple of bumps but we got through that and I think we ended up on the good side of it.”

FAQ

What are the stages of service provision?

a) Review — familiarization with the current infrastructure, problems, wishes of developers and owners, and creation of a roadmap of works with a time estimate. Depending on the complexity of the infrastructure and the available documentation, the review requires from 2 to 60 hours of engineer and PM working time.
The result: a ready-made roadmap with a time estimate and a prescribed sequence of actions for building the desired infrastructure and carrying out the necessary migrations.

 

b) Implementation — implementation of the roadmap. According to the agreements, we allocate the necessary number of engineering hours and engage the necessary specialists to complete the roadmap on time. Our PM organizes the work of DevOps engineers, monitors the execution of tasks, and provides reports to the customer.
Result: all tasks of the roadmap completed within the stipulated time. The infrastructure has been created or improved according to the roadmap, and the necessary migrations have been carried out.

 

c) Support 24/7 — programmer support and Incident management 24/7 services. SHALB monitors the operation of all systems around the clock, identifies failures and immediately takes actions necessary to restore normal operation.
The result: maximum availability of the customer’s services and no downtime for the customer’s programmers.

How is the cost of services determined?

The cost of providing services at each stage depends on the number of required engineering hours. The cost of services and the implementation period at the Implementation stage can be fixed. The option of incident management 24/7 is paid additionally.

How many engineers will be involved from your side?

We involve at least two DevOps engineers and a PM in each project. We also engage additional engineers who specialize in certain areas of work, such as monitoring master (for work on setting up monitoring and observability), database administrator (for setting up databases in various configurations and optimizing performance) and CI/CD-master (for setting up CI/CD procedures).

 

This approach allows us to perform work as quickly and qualitatively as possible and provide support around-the-clock.

What are the possible payment options?

We work on a monthly advance payment for the planned number of hours.

Payment is made in USD or EUR.

What is the level of your engineers and does it affect the cost?

Our engineers are of Middle and Senior levels. The price for working hours is generalized for everyone.

What are the guarantees of service quality?

You can be sure of the impeccable quality of our services. The best proof of this is that our customers have been working with us for many years. You can read cases and reviews on our website or Clutch. In addition, our financial responsibility for the quality of services is specified in the contract and is the total amount of funds received from the customer during cooperation – there are no hidden costs.

How do DevOps engineers integrate with the Customer's team?

We use three channels of interaction:

 

  • JIRA — all tasks and time logging are displayed in our JIRA and are available to the customer and their employees.
  • Slack — a shared channel in Slack allows the customer’s engineers to quickly communicate with SHALB’s DevOps engineers.
  • Weekly sync-up calls with engineers and PMs guarantee the most transparent communication. These calls enable the customer to be aware of the progress of the work, receive the necessary consultations, and make changes to the roadmap.
