The challenge
Expansion requires oversight and governance
An “all hands on deck” approach doesn’t work for true growth
Without solid foundations, scale-up is impossibleDevOps is in your DNA, but the more you grow, the harder it gets to sustain
Rapid growth has transformed your company, but you’re still not sure you have the foundations in place to scale to ever-greater heights. Growth’s a funny thing. You spend months or even years fighting for it and then when you least expect it, it hits you like a tidal wave.
If you’ve survived this long, congrats and long may it last. But if you want your business to go the distance, you’re going to have to make some changes now to ensure your tech team can scale smoothly and your team is perfectly primed for performance.
Why Cycloid?
We provide governance with respect
Your first move to re-impose order on your business is to make sure there is strong governance at every step. This is a delicate process; heavy-handed prescription will annoy your ops and insult your devs. Luckily, Cycloid offers a better way, building in governance from the bottom-up but making it practically imperceptible. How so? Ops use tools like Teams & Custom Roles, StackForms, and InfraPolicies to set appropriate limits “behind the curtains”. When devs and other users get involved, the only options they have are the ones already okayed by your experts - meaning users get flexibility, ops have control, and everyone is happy.
Sustainable, efficient growth is the only growth that counts
Scale is the goal, but if scaling brings more problems than it fixes, is it really growth at all? Cycloid acts like a framework, guiding and facilitating your product’s growth and scale by ensuring that the things that hobble growth - error, redundancy, and overspend - are kept to an absolute minimum. We do this with tools like Cost Estimation and InfraView, helping you monitor your SDLC for warning signs and trouble before they have a chance to knock your company’s growth off course.
Implement and maintain best practice
Have you heard the gardening motto “The best time to plant an apple tree was seven years ago, and the next best time is today?”. The same goes for best practices. Things may have blown off course during your meteoric rise, but it’s never too late to get them back on track. Cycloid provides multiple tools that make implementing best practices easy, from fine-grained RBAC controls to easy CI/CD, real-time visibility, and absolute cross-tool compatibility. Sure, we can’t do your best practice for you, but we can help make it easier.
