Prioritize collaboration to drive faster, more reliable results.

DevOps is a combination of development and operations. Our cross-functional team of system engineers, server administrators, and developers work together throughout the development pipeline to ensure consistent communication on all projects.

DevOps methodology increases speed and frequency of development cycles, reduces overall project costs, and cuts down on development silos.

The DevOps methodology

Automation

We automate development processes wherever possible to avoid wasting valuable time and resources. Automation is the key to a reliable, scalable, and repeatable workflow. It increases efficiency while maintaining quality of work.

Full-stack monitoring

Full-stack monitoring is an early warning system for the typical issues that bring sites and applications offline. We keep a close eye on the things that can crash a server or bring a site offline. We have customized tasks on all servers to check that key components and features are healthy and functioning at their highest capacity.

Continuous integration

We use continuous integration to check and test code early and often. Our team uses automation tools to track failures, aggregate build time statistics, and send alerts when issues are found. We created a continuous integration and quality assurance tool called Probo.CI that we use in all development projects.

DevOps support

Our DevOps support empowers your development and operations teams to collaborate. Our team implements industry standards, automated task runners, monitoring servers, and provisioning tools to ensure the success of your project.

Managed Drupal hosting

Our managed Drupal hosting gives you access to a team who oversees the security and performance of your site. We tailor hosting setups on a per-client basis to allow for customized configurations and specialized solutions.

Provisioning

Zivtech uses Puppet to perform server configuration, giving you the tools you need to set up a new server when and where you want it. We release custom Puppet modules to ensure servers are built quickly and efficiently, and can also be easily repeated through automated processes.

Virtualization

Our team develops locally on every project through server virtualization. We synchronize local environments with development, staging, or production environments to expedite the setup process. Our local servers are provisioned identically to our real servers to minimize the chances of issues between development and production.

By using DevOps methodology we are able to automate certain aspects of the development process without compromising security and quality and work hard to ensure all team members start and end a project on the same page.
