At Magnet, we recognize that successful software development goes beyond writing code – it's about streamlining processes, fostering collaboration, and accelerating innovation. As advocates of DevOps practices, we specialize in helping businesses automate and optimize their development pipelines, enabling them to deliver high-quality software faster and more efficiently. Let's delve into how Magnet's approach to DevOps can revolutionize your development workflows and drive business success.

Infrastructure

  1. Cloud Infrastructure Setup and ManagementWe assist clients in setting up and managing cloud infrastructure tailored to their specific needs, whether it's on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or other cloud providers. Our team architects scalable and resilient cloud environments, leveraging Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform and CloudFormation to automate infrastructure provisioning and configuration.
  2. Container Orchestration with KubernetesWe specialize in Kubernetes container orchestration, deploying and managing containerized applications at scale. Our experts configure Kubernetes clusters, automate deployment workflows with Helm charts, and optimize resource utilization to ensure high availability and performance for microservices architectures.
  3. Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) PipelinesWe design and implement CI/CD pipelines to automate software delivery and accelerate development cycles. Our CI/CD solutions integrate with version control systems like Git, automate testing and code analysis, and deploy applications to production environments seamlessly, ensuring fast and reliable software releases.
  4. Scalability and High Availability ArchitectureWe architect highly scalable and fault-tolerant infrastructure solutions to support businesses' growth and ensure uninterrupted service availability. Our designs incorporate auto-scaling mechanisms, load balancers, and distributed storage systems to handle dynamic workloads and maintain service reliability under load spikes.

DevOps

  1. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) ImplementationWe advocate for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices, enabling clients to manage infrastructure configuration and provisioning through code. Our DevOps engineers utilize tools like Terraform and Ansible to define infrastructure as code, facilitating versioning, reproducibility, and automation of infrastructure changes.
  2. Monitoring and Observability SolutionsWe implement robust monitoring and observability solutions to gain insights into system performance and health. Our DevOps team configures monitoring tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK Stack to collect and visualize metrics, logs, and traces, enabling proactive incident detection and troubleshooting.
  3. GitOps Practices for Infrastructure ManagementWe embrace GitOps principles to manage infrastructure configurations and deployments using Git repositories as the single source of truth. Our DevOps engineers implement GitOps workflows with tools like Flux and Argo CD, enabling declarative infrastructure management, automated deployments, and version-controlled changes.
  4. Container Security and Vulnerability ManagementWe prioritize container security by implementing best practices and tools to mitigate risks associated with containerized environments. Our DevOps team integrates security scanning tools like Clair and Anchore to detect vulnerabilities in container images and enforces security policies through container runtime protection mechanisms.

FAQs

Common questions about

Infrastructure and DevOps

Who do you recommend for hosting?

There are different considerations depending on the type of technology used and what the intended scaling factors are. We generally have three types of host that we pick between:

For custom software and sites with advanced functionality we have used Digital Ocean for dedicated servers for many years and love their combination of reliability, modern server technology and great support when needed (although they're self managed).

For Nocode websites we like the Webflow platform which uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) as its hosting backbone.

For Jamstack websites we're big fans of Netlify and Vercel.
