• API design for mobile applications
• Leverage cloud tools for rapid application development

Cloud

Use the cloud as a competitive advantage so that you can move quickly. Spend your time solving business problems while reducing your time to market and operational cost. Build cloud native applications to minimize undifferentiated heavy lifting and create a consistent experience for all of your users by increasing availability and reliability.

• Rewrite or refactor your applications for the cloud
• Use containers to modernize your application
• Leverage serverless compute opportunistically
• Go global with multi-region deployments
• Satisfy data tenancy requirements
• Orchestrate workloads on AWS or Kubernetes

DevOps

Build software with practices that balance delivery throughput and application stability. Increase deployment frequency and cut down on lead time for changes. Reduce change failure rate on deployments and mean time to recover. When your software is delivered using these capabilities, it will be easy to change in response to feedback.

• Automate deployments and practice continuous delivery
• Optimize builds and test suites
• Specify infrastructure as code to enable safe changes, yield reproducible environments, and stop configuration drift
• Test-driven design and development
• Development following the Twelve-Factor App principles
• Instrumentation for logging, observability, and monitoring

How We Work

Our approach to work is collaborative and consultative.

1. Refine your strategy. We want to understand your business goals and what future success for this project looks like. We By understanding the scope and complexity of your business, customers and current state of software we can best design a plan.
   
   
2. Design a plan.  We collaborate with you to converge on the highest priority capabilities that you want to get in front of customers first. From there we create a plan to execute on your vision.
   
   
3. Build software. Working together, we deliver the highest value software using XP practices to ensure high confidence in our deployments and well-tested software.
   
   
4. Release product features. Every deployment is an opportunity for learning, requiring customer feedback and iteration.
   
   
5. Collect user feedback. Small feature releases accelerate the delivery of value to customers and reduce the risk inherent in large deployments.
   
   
6. Train and transition. We work to create a seamless transition to your team. We handle onboarding and training into the new systems and processes that have been created.
