Building solutions using 12 Factor App Methodology. High performance mission focused & metric driven teams.
STAGE 01
Problem Discovery
Implementing US Digital Services best practice to conduct workshops and capture user journey pain points across agencies. We are implementing multiple SBIR Phase II projects in US Air Force using the USDS methodology.
Workshops
Work towards a common understanding of the end user requirements. Bring all stakeholders to the table.
User Journeys
Capture end-to-end user journey. Categorize and prioritize features. Design usable functionality in layers.
Wireframing / Mockups
Validate assumptions and incorporate user feedback. Avoid generating throw away code.
STAGE 02
Lean Methodology
We put people first and persona based user journeys capture end user interactions. Acceptance criteria in defined based on reverse knowledge transfer to avoid throw away code & usable small batch release cycles allow continuous feedback.
Groom User Stories
With curated user stories, the team knows why they are building, what they're building, and what value it creates.
Continuous Validation
Continuously validating the end to end solution is critical to avoiding throw away code. Manual validation prevents automating the wrong thing.
Continuous Feedback
Engaging end users through small batch releases supports adjustments and ensures that everyone on the same page.
STAGE 03
Codified Build and Test Automation
Our developers understand the criticality of shift left security. Using automation to deploy pre-approved Infrastructure as Code and pre-approved hardened containers, we mitigate security and delivery risks.
Automated IaC/CaC
Our ENBUILD accelerator contains codified IaC/CaC for DoD frameworks like SCCA and DevSecOps reference design.
Security
We address security in each layer of the stack. Cloud, Node, OS, Cluster, Containers and Applications using NIST 800 frameworks.
MLOps Solutions
We build emerging technologies with baked in lifecycle management including adversarial drift detection and explainability.
STAGE 04
Operations
Codified Metrics, Auto Remediation, Cost / Security Management
Codified Metrics
We capture DevSecOps metrics and align them with security and performance metrics for releases. This gets the operations visibility into the dev cycle.
Security & Auto Remediation
Cloud APIs provide capabilities to automated desired state. Our custom hooks into these APIs monitor for security and configuration drift and realign and remediate resources.
Cost Management
Cost Management has to being with CaC templates. By capturing environment specific parameters, tagging, and turning off unused resources we mitigate wasted spend.
