Infrastructures have evolved at exponential paces. With public, private and hybrid mode of application deployment, there has been dire need of end to end automation of infrastructure. Automating infrastructure provisioning is hassle-free, error-proof and cost-effective. It enables your company to plan, design and implement application deployment with army grade precision. 

Zopstix’s approach towards automating infrastructure has been truly environment and platform agnostic. Be it AWS, Azure or GCP, we believe in keeping the process as agnostic as possible. This empowers you to be ready to deploy your application on any major cloud provider. The real gain of keeping things agnostic is to decrease the pace of migrating from one cloud provider to another. In case, you want to demonstrate your application on an entirely new cloud provider, being agnostic will help!

Containers are leading both the development and deployment scheme of things in industry. They are already the BIG thing that everyone is talking about and are preferred amongst almost all the domains. Be it bigdate, telecom, ecommerce, health and edutech, adopting containers is definitely the paradigm shift in the way modern applications are developed, tested and deployed. All major cloud providers have their own managed kubernetes services since paste few years. EKS, AKS and GKE are the prime examples how tight competition has been in that space. 

Zopstix expertise in kubernetes and docker engine helps SMEs to move from virtual machine(VM) world towards containers. With proven history of designing, drawing strategy and implementation towards containerization, we advise a proper approach so that you can decouple your applications components and effectively managed life-cycle of each components as container/pod. 

Micro-services are first-class citizens in containers world. From many years, companies were creating mono-lithic applications(read giant binary!) and every simple patch would need recompilation of code, testing of the whole binary and upgrading the application on intended customer/environment. These monoliths were difficult to develop, test and manage. Having said that, there is an entire school that advocates pros of monoliths and how it is better than micro-services.

Enter micro-services! Micro-services are small chunks or decoupled application components that can be managed independently of other components. Although a tight communication is needed to realize the complete functionality/call-flow, the life-cycle management(LCM) of each components is independent and thus easier to develop, test and manage. It lowers the total cost of ownership(TCO) as separate teams can manage different components. 

We at Zopstix, help SMEs to analyse the time and effort it would take to break the monolith. We can discuss and formalise a plan that would be efficient and time-saving. We can distinguish components that can immediately we converted into micro-services and work on their life-cycle management while you invest time into slimming down the monolith app.
