Accelerating Product Delivery: A CTO’s Guide to Automating Development Environments

The IT industry is changing every day with new trends and developments. Because of this, a major shift has occurred towards test environments, driven entirely by automation and self-service. This is where Environment as a Service (EaaS) comes in, supporting faster innovation and eliminating any environment bottlenecks.

As we’ve previously illustrated in ourWhat is EaaSarticle, Environment as a Service has the application and its environment version controlled and managed as a single entity. A few immediate benefits of this approach are lowered costs, increased speed, and experimentation possibilities.

If you’ve followed our blog for a while, you know we often talk about the benefits of DevOps: faster delivery of products and features, more stable environments, improved communication and collaboration, among many others.

We have a very ambitious vision: take over the tech industry and become one of the best environment as a service platform on the market. But vision without action is just a dream, and to take action, we need a great team.

It seems every organization tries to implement DevOps nowadays. Which, in theory, is not a bad thing.

The actual problem is rushing into things without fully understanding how DevOps works and viewing DevOps as the universal solution to all problems. This leads to poor implementation and, ultimately, not the desired results.

Microservices is one of the most buzzworthy concepts right now. Everyone wants to create applications that use microservices, even when that’s not the best architectural approach for their app (but more on that later). So, in this article, we want to explain what microservices are, how they work, and why and when you need a microservices architecture.

At Bunnyshell, we’re not only focused on building a product but also improving or creating the technology that makes our product possible. Ultimately, our goal is to become the reason why SMEs are able to keep their applications online.

As more and more organizations embrace Digital Transformation, they also adopt a DevOps culture in order to be able to produce new applications and services at high velocity. That’s because a culture that encourages shared responsibility, transparency, and fast feedback helps shrink the gaps between teams and therefore also speeds up processes.

Coined by Patrick Debois back in 2007, the term ‘DevOps’ refers to bringing Development and Operations together, thus extending Agile development as a philosophy to enhance the software delivery process as a whole.
