Software Development Consultancy
Experts in streamlining & process optimisation
Streamline your Software Development
The Goal
is to measure the cost of your developer's time. The challenge is to do this without overly disrupting the development process.
Optimising the flow of development doesn't just mean making the process faster, it also means understanding the cost of development and getting your team to the point of writing "affordable" code.
The Developer
Maintains the product and "speaks code"
Empowering Developers to Deliver
The Hiring Process
Getting your developers to write code is one thing, ensuring the codebase is being actively maintained is what separates stable software from glitchy software.
The Bootcamp Developer
Most modern software bootcamps or certifications provide a developer with the basic tools to create and maintain a codebase. Due to the nature of opensource technologies, the technique that is taught can vary on a yearly basis and cause software "frameworks" to quickly become outdated unless they actively upgraded when standards change (which can become quite an unrealsitic ask).
The Slow Developer
There are multiple points that lead up to the impression of developers being slow or incompetent, as well as developers who just resign with no real indiciation of the reason. These are the exact points that we aim to identify and work together to improve, within a development team
Allocating Software Resources, correctly
Choice of technology has a great impact on financial expenditure, both for running costs and development costs. Relying on development preference is not always the safest way to ensure that the optimal decision is being made.
There are multiple variables that need to be weighed up in order to ensure that the correct decision is being made. You need to consider the speed of development, the cost of running the Software and the maintainability of the Software by other developers, thereafter.
The Common Stacks
Most companies are using, what we call the "Industry Standard", when it comes to software solutions. This is because it is generally a safe bet as it supports almost any product/application's implementation ideals without boxing you into a company, brand or license to operate.
Symfony
As mentioned, Laravel and Symfony are the two leading frameworks. Laravel actually came from Symfony but is now abstracted into their own solution.
Products built in Symfony generally have a decently basic requirement when it comes to the flow of data and opportunity for optimisation sits within the database.
Laravel
The framework leader within the PHP landscape sits within Laravel and Symfony.
Products built in Laravel can lack utility as Laravel offers so much functionality that the developer is usually in an unrealistic position of decision making. Our experience allows us to understand your business model and compartmentalise the end-to-end of your application into efficient and maintainable solutions.
WordPress
Industry leader for Opensource CMS. Most editorial or content based partners are heavily invested in the WordPress ecosystem. WordPress empowers the developer to make code-based decisions with minimal impact outside of performance. With that being said, performance is the biggest pain point in any WordPress environment that is trying to deal with lots of traffic.
The flow of code
If a developer has completed their task, or ticket, we should expect to be able to review that work without requiring the developer to do a tremendous amount of additional deployments.
Chances are you are already using Git. But are you using it to the full extent?
Having spent a lot of time with teams, refining this process, and working with industry leaders to establish industry wide gitflow solutions, we can get your code to flow from the developer, to the end result, with very little human intervention (or sometimes none).
Microsoft Github
The industry leader in advanced version management allowing teams of developers and QAs to collaborate on ensuring that sprints are not blocked by deployments. This empowers the developer to be able to run a single command in order to deploy either a portion of an application, or an entire assembly of applications.
Atlassian Bitbucket
JIRA integration ensures that your developers are able to generate a feature straight from their assigned tickets and deploy at the click of a button. This refines the QA process and allows important deployment considerations to be made by QA through Bitbucket Pipelines.
