DevOps

Merapar are fundamental in transforming DevOps to a highly responsive competency for a number of media service providers, with largest infrastructures. So how do we achieve this?

DevOps Client Success

Cultural Change

DevOps requires a fundamental shift in the way teams work together, and this can be difficult to achieve. Developers and operations teams may have different goals, priorities, and ways of working. Bringing them together to collaborate can be a challenge. Understanding that DevOps is far more than a technical discipline is critical.

Start Small

Begin with small pilot projects that can be completed within a few weeks or months. This will help you demonstrate the benefits of DevOps and gain buy-in from stakeholders. Once we demonstrate our ability to deliver organisations often become more ambitious in its transformation program.

Be Agile

This is a cornerstone of how we operate. All our staff are Scrum Trained. We deliver change through sprints, with laser focus on delivering customer value. We work in Sprints and are always seeking to improve delivery with each Sprint.

Be Informed

All our DevOps staff are AWS Certified to a high level. We can make informed decisions quickly, remaining compliant with internal and industry best practices and standards.

Measure Effectiveness

Deploy frequency, Lead Time, Defect Density, Customer Satisfaction, Security Compliance.

As standard, we use a 99.99% availability architecture, and higher rates are also feasible. Our platforms automatically recover from failure, through horizontal scaling and automated recovery solutions.

Systems-Integration

System Integration

Harnessing the power of technologies requires businesses to overcome complex systems integration challenges.

Merapar’s systems integration specialists will help you to manage the complexity inherent with technology, through the integration of systems. We offer both advisory and implementation services.

QA and Test

Merapar has considerable experience in the establishment of highly automated QA and Test infrastructures to support the continuous rollout of quality products.

Merapar will provide automated and manual test procedures across a large number of markets.

CI-CD-Pipeline

CI/CD Pipeline

In a cloud-native environment, introducing new releases or features is ongoing. Our in house developed continuous integration and delivery pipeline allows us to create and upgrade a cloud environment fast. We provide test or evaluation environments based on real data and real life characteristics, for trying our new concepts, features and releases.
