Wedoops

Software for a company that wants its own engineers

Behind Wedoops is a simple idea: companies that are not IT specialists should not have to buy and run their own servers. The firm brings infrastructure and software together and presents itself as a DevOps partner. It says it works out what a client needs first, then proposes a solution that its experts build, so that the client can focus on its core business while the technology is handled.

Infrastructure defined as code

The central method is infrastructure as code. Environments are defined in code using Terraform, which the company says gives control over changes, makes environments easy to copy, and makes it possible to move a whole data centre to another region. Its cloud servers are elastic and on demand, sized to the software that will run on them, and they can run with any cloud provider so that a client avoids lock-in to one vendor.

Containers and Kubernetes

Docker is used to package applications, and the company helps clients follow good practice so that packaged applications and servers stay under control. Wedoops also runs Kubernetes, either as a managed service or on a client's own premises, and it helps teams gain the knowledge to operate it. Both stateless and stateful applications can run on the orchestrator.

Service mesh and monitoring

For businesses that are breaking up a monolithic application, the firm offers help with service meshes such as Istio, Consul and Spring Cloud. The aim is to add visibility and resilience to the way services talk to one another. Monitoring work sets service level indicators and objectives, then uses tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Elasticsearch and Datadog to measure how the system and its data are behaving.

Serverless, pipelines and development

Where a team wants to run tasks as functions in the cloud, Wedoops offers serverless designs, and it builds continuous integration and delivery pipelines. Its site names expertise in Ruby on Rails, Vue.js, Python, AWS and blockchain, and says that artificial intelligence is part of its development toolkit. Clients can also engage a dedicated group of engineers for a project.

Company background

The company says it was founded in Tallinn, Estonia. It describes its approach as making software and infrastructure simpler, more competitive, more flexible and more reliable, with pay-as-you-go pricing and scaling as the business needs.
