Our Process

1

Infrastructure Planning

Designing cloud architecture and deployment strategy

  • Assess application infrastructure requirements
  • Choose appropriate cloud services and providers
  • Design network architecture and security groups
  • Plan resource allocation and scaling strategy
  • Estimate costs and optimize cloud spending
2

Infrastructure as Code

Defining infrastructure using declarative code

  • Write Terraform scripts for infrastructure provisioning
  • Version control infrastructure configurations
  • Implement modular and reusable infrastructure code
  • Document infrastructure architecture
  • Set up multiple environments (dev, staging, prod)
3

Containerization

Packaging applications in containers for consistency

  • Create Dockerfiles for application containerization
  • Build optimized Docker images with multi-stage builds
  • Set up Docker Compose for local development
  • Configure container registries for image storage
  • Implement container security best practices
4

CI/CD Pipeline Setup

Automating build, test, and deployment processes

  • Configure GitHub Actions or Jenkins pipelines
  • Implement automated testing in CI pipeline
  • Set up automated builds and deployments
  • Configure deployment approvals and gates
  • Implement rollback procedures for failed deployments
5

Monitoring & Logging

Setting up observability and alerting systems

  • Implement centralized logging (ELK stack, CloudWatch)
  • Set up application and infrastructure monitoring
  • Configure alerting for critical issues
  • Create dashboards for system metrics
  • Implement distributed tracing for microservices
6

Security & Compliance

Ensuring security and compliance standards

  • Implement security scanning in CI/CD pipelines
  • Configure network security and firewall rules
  • Manage secrets and credentials securely
  • Perform regular security audits and updates
  • Ensure compliance with industry standards
