Our technical vision is to establish a highly efficient and streamlined software development process that incorporates automation, monitoring, communication, and orchestration to enable seamless and reliable delivery of software releases. Our key goals are as follows:
- Automated Releases with Continuous Integration and Delivery: Our development process will be integrated with robust and automated continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipelines that allow for efficient and frequent releases of software updates. This will include automated testing, building, and deployment processes that minimize human error and accelerate the time to market for new features and bug fixes.
- Production Environment Monitoring and Error Insight: We will implement comprehensive monitoring solutions that provide real-time insights into the performance, errors, and health of our production environment. Our development team will have access to detailed error and performance data, allowing them to proactively identify and resolve issues, resulting in improved reliability and stability of our software applications.
- Reporting and Slack Messaging as Individual Services: Our reporting and Slack messaging functionalities will be decoupled into individual services, leveraging microservices architecture principles. This will allow for better scalability, maintainability, and fault tolerance. Services will communicate reliably with a message queue solution, ensuring efficient and asynchronous communication between services.
- Automated Server Setup, Configuration, and Orchestration: We will leverage infrastructure as code (IaC) and configuration management tools to automate the setup, configuration, and orchestration of our servers. This will enable efficient provisioning, scaling, and management of our infrastructure, reducing manual errors and ensuring consistency across all environments.
- Utilize Caching: Discover and utilize caching within the applications, or possible with a CDN, to prevent unnecessary utilization of the database to improve performance and decrease costs.
By implementing these goals, we aim to establish a highly efficient and robust software development process that minimizes manual efforts, reduces errors, and enhances the reliability, performance, and scalability of our software applications.
