CloudCloud DevOps
DevOps (Development Operations) is the confluence of programming, quality assurance and operations. In the past, DevOps Architectures consisted of a hodgepodge of customized best-of and not-so-best of breed solutions. Now the major cloud providers have created integrated suites of cloud native services which make creating build/test/deployment pipelines easier than ever. Developers can collaborate, build, deploy and scale their applications all within a single cloud platform. Winmill has the expertise required to help you transition from a traditional DevOps model into one that is entirely cloud native. We can help you reach your goal of continuous, rapid releases of high quality software all while taking advantage of everything the cloud has to offer.
Migration
Every organization has its unique questions, considerations and challenges when planning a move to the cloud. These can range from how to rapidly release high quality code, to building a secure network that meets our customer and regulatory requirements, to how can we take advantage of all the cloud offers without throwing away all the good work we’ve done in the past. How do we do this move in an orderly manner that doesn’t impact our current business? What should our short term vs long term goals be? Winmill can help you answer these questions and navigate these murky waters while minimizing missteps and false starts.
Transformation
Moving applications into the cloud often involves rearchitecting those applications to shift them from a heavy weight traditional data center driven architecture, to one that is more agile and takes advantage of how easy it can be to spin servers up and down or to avoid the OS layer altogether and use managed services in the cloud. Shifting to a Microservices Architecture is a great example of a design pattern that can take advantage of the benefits of the cloud. Not only can the cost of hosting these rearchitected applications improve, but also code reusability, maintenance, change order cost and troubleshooting time tables all improve after a more agile, cloud ready architecture is put in place.
Native Cloud Development
Learning to develop natively for the cloud can be challenging. Business and customer requirements have to be met with an architecture that can benefit from all the advantages that bring us into the cloud in the first place. Often this process is much smoother if an application is “born in the cloud”. This means that the entire code development lifecycle is tightly woven with your cloud infrastructure and DevOps architecture. If each iteration of the product is built by and deployed to the cloud, then your final release to production can be literally as easy as pushing a button. Winmill can help you get there, whether with minor backend architectural changes, or an entire shifting of your development approach.

IT Director, Large NY Health & Welfare Fund
Winmill hosts our website and all of our critical applications. But more importantly, they serve as our trusted advisor for anything related to our infrastructure. We run everything by them, and wouldn't consider a change in our application architecture without consulting with them first. They are true professionals.
Executive Director, National Benefit Fund
I could never imagine researching or implementing a new computer system without using a group that embodies the quality, cost effectiveness, knowledge and professionalism of Winmill. My organization has soared thanks to their efforts, and is realizing more ROI on our technology projects than we ever thought possible.
