Who are we
We’re a team of 11 DevOps engineers. Our main task is to provide a stable and scalable platform for our applications and ensure our developers can continuously build and deploy new features. We work mostly with web application developers (backend, Java, JavaScript, WordPress, .NET). To achieve this, we rely on Ansible, Terraform, Docker, Sensu, and a whole suite of AWS and Azure services.
We like turtles and automatization. We know where the skeletons are buried. We hold the Power of Root at our fingertips. We find a way or make one.
