People over Process over Tools
This is one of the first coined DevOps principle and a cornerstone in how we develop our solutions. Our solutions are primarily made for serving people and solving problems. Not the other way around: buing fancy tools and trying to figure out where to use them.
Collaboration
DevOps is the practice of operations and development engineers working together through the entire product lifecycle, from design and development all the way to production and support. Collective ownership and shared responsabilities are essential in a successfull DevOps culture.
Tools
We love tools. Good tools enable us to build systems and automate processes that were unthinkable before. We are tool experts and know what the open source community and commercial vendors have to offer. We also building custom tools and customize existing tools to fit specific business requirements.
Everything as Code
Developers have for a long time known that defining functionality as code is usefull. Storing everything in version control and going through code reviews is a great way to increase quality and reproducability. With the emergence of new tools it is now possible to store even infrastructure as code.
Analytics
Automation is the key to success in DevOps. In order to understand what is happening in the background and verify that the system is working as intended we need listen to what the system is saying. This requires us to store, manage and analyze large amounts of both structured and unstructured datasets.
