We are here to help you to set a configuration for convenient, simple and efficient system right from scratch.

From monolith to microservices. In cooperation with your developers team we’ll conduct an IT audit of your applications’ architecture, test how it interacts with databases, where it stores sessions, the way current development and delivery processes are arranged. Based on the data, we’ll offer an optimal plan for migration from monolithic to microservice architecture. Build event-driven system’s architecture for running modern applications seamlessly that allowing faster development, scalability and deployment cycles.

CI/CD automation. Assist product teams in implementing efficient processes of code development and delivery (CI/CD) with automation of code analysis and unit tests, building docker images, deploying dynamic environments, integration tests and deploy. Business benefits of implementing CI/CD in delivery pipelines – increase the speed of development and the quality of your product. Minimize release risk and protect business-critical systems.

Infrastructure logging and monitoring: keeping track of what really matters. We’ll set up round the clock logging and monitoring processes of key infrastructure & application and business metrics. As a result, we will be able to identify situations when technically the servers work fine (i.e. a regular monitoring would not say anything is wrong), but due to a failed API update, under certain conditions it starts showing incorrect responses, resulting in failed transactions and business losses as a consequence.

Explore Key Benefits of implementing DevOps tools and best-practices to your business

By implementing DevOps tools and best-practices you can enable faster development of products and easier maintenance of existing deployments. DevOps will impact your business’s bottom line by reducing production deployment time. One more advantage is that DevOps integration enables seamless scalability for enterprise and highload projects, that allows adaptability to match your business objectives.

Implementing Kubernetes and SRE solutions on a turnkey basis. Nixys as a provider of Kubernetes implementation services, helps companies to achieve business objectives by modernizing existing cloud infrastructure and cluster customization. Our team provide Managed Kubernetes solutions to enterprise and small business: B2B, FinTech, EdTech, Ecommerce and SaaS services. By applying SRE principles, business can achieve higher system uptime, increase reliability and improve incident management metrics.

High availability clusters with self-healing capabilities. By using Kubernetes for building clusters that run containerized web applications in need of high availability and fast scalability. Kubernetes (k8s) allows to perform microservice upgrades without any downtime. Kubernetes also has a built-in mechanism for monitoring the status of services. If, for some reason, one of the services is down, Kubernetes will immediately see it, bring up a new one next to it, and switch the application to it. This way you could prevent system downtime and reduce infrastructure costs.

Convenient CI/CD processes with isolated environments. Kubernetes allows creating completely isolated environments internally. This step will bring your product development to the next level. You can have classic deployment environment – dev/stage/prod and set up CI processes such way that temporary test environments are also created during the process of development. As a result, you’ll be able to run unit tests and test functionality on the fly. Unnecessary environments could also be easily deleted when testing is complete.

Automated infrastructure management (AIM) solutions. Following IaC (Infrastructure as Code) and PaC (Platform as code) best-practices, we’ll write automation for nodes and services backup and deployment. Simplicity and uniformity in the infrastructure will come as a result, reducing deployment time and extending scalability.

Infrastructure Audit. We will carry out an audit of IT infrastructure and cloud architecture of your project. Apply best-practices of measuring IT infrastructure performance to compliance with the goals and business objectives. We’ll evaluate the performance, safety, efficiency of existing development and management processes of the infrastructure.Will identify all bottlenecks and make sure we fix them or set up a new modern, technologically advanced infrastructure and move the project.

We’ll help finding answers to the following questions:

• What number of users and during what amount of time your system is able to handle?
• How does the system cope with a sudden load peak?
• What are the bottlenecks of the system?
• What hardware configuration is needed for the system to handle the required number of users?
• What will happen to the system if any of its components fail? Can they get back on track and how long will it take? Will the system still be able to work?

Load and perfomance testing best-practices. Carefully study the structure of your web-project and the behavior of real visitors. Then we will discuss the required actions of your target visitors with you and imitate users’ script. Since we already have a large database of typical behavioral scenarios, we’ll adapt them to speed up the testing process if they fit your project. Also monitoring application availability, detect and determine server issues to measure peak load and improve capacity.

Benefits of load testing services. Firstly you can defects before real users do. Our team conduct testing of the system by a slowly increasing load to get real-life perfomance insights. When the amount of «users» on the site increases too high, the site will stop working – completely, or partially. The number of «users», at which this will happen, will be defined as the load limit of your site. The business benefits of Load Testing are understanding the bottlenecks of the infrastructure, reducing the risk of downtime and rapid error detection.

Metrics for performance evaluation. Comparing the results with different settings of the software. At the end of the first iteration we will collect the data. The report will contain information on the maximum number of the users allowed on your website, as well as the list of your website and server performance bottlenecks. In addition, you’ll get, our recommendations on their elimination and prevention. If it is necessary to test the system under load with different software settings, we will make several iterations and compare the results. Performance testing benefits for business are eliminating quality assurance (QA) bottlenecks and preventing delayed releases. Load testing enables business to understand how project’s infrastructure performs under peak loads and conditions.

Working since 2011. During this period of time we have learned our lessons and realized what the processes should be like to work in a smooth way and for tasks to be performed quickly and professionally.

Project Architecture

We will work out all the peculiarities of your project, selecting the appropriate technology stack and the most optimal architecture for the future solution. This could range from a simple console utility that performs basic actions to a large-scale project composed of various microservices. We consider all modern development practices, including testing, UX/UI, and CI/CD, as the foundation of the architecture. You get a high-quality product with minimal maintenance costs.

Microservice architecture is often the preferred choice due to its numerous advantages. Dividing a large project into separate, specialized components not only simplifies the development and maintenance process but also enhances the entire project’s flexibility, scalability, and fault tolerance. This architecture allows each component to be developed using the language, message queues, and databases that are best suited for it. 

Before starting work, we thoroughly analyze your project to determine the range of tasks to address and define the set of microservices needed. For each microservice, we carefully plan the following aspects:

• Fault tolerance
• API design (if required)
• Interaction with other microservices
• Testing
• Monitoring
• CI/CD

Web applications 

One of the ways to enable users to interact with the project is through a web application. Creating a clear and user-friendly interface is a crucial task that requires a lot of experience and understanding of modern practices and trends in this area. We will be glad to share our expertise and create a website that will help you to realize the full potential of your product, becoming its most visible and integral part.

Telegram bots

Another effective way to make your project accessible is through a Telegram bot. With its help, users can easily access the services and products they need directly within the familiar chat interface. Our experience in developing such solutions will help expand the capabilities of your product, making it more accessible and closer to your customers.

Console Utilities

Sometimes you need an application that terminates immediately after performing specified actions. This can be useful, for instance, at one of the stages of developing a microservice for your project, considering its peculiarities and requirements. We have developed hundreds of such programs during our work and, without a doubt, have extensive experience in this area.
