iServit

Cloud infrastructure and DevSecOps for web applications

Romanian firm iServit works on the cloud infrastructure behind web applications, designing, deploying and securing it. Its focus is on small and medium-sized companies that need a complete cloud setup for their applications but have no dedicated DevSecOps team of their own. The company has worked on this since 2015 and describes its approach as practical, with security, monitoring and deployment handled together.

Google Cloud and Kubernetes infrastructure

Infrastructure work covers Google Cloud Platform and Google Kubernetes Engine. iServit designs the infrastructure with all the components it needs and implements it as Terraform or Kubernetes configuration, or within the setup of a CI/CD pipeline. Automated deployment processes are built or streamlined so that a release needs little manual effort, and the pipelines run security scans and image tests before anything goes live.

Monitoring, tuning and security audits

Once a system is running, iServit watches clusters and infrastructure actively, tunes their parameters, makes better use of resources and sets alerts so that problems are caught early. Its security audits review configuration, identity and access management, and the security of deployment processes for Google Cloud and Kubernetes environments. The audits also cover backups and recovery, in line with good practice in security, monitoring and data recovery.

Custom applications: a rescue tool and a ski school app

iServit also builds its own applications. Its Salvamont location service is used by mountain rescue teams in Romania to locate casualties and organise an intervention team internally. The system is treated as critical infrastructure for security and availability, and it is built from five microservices and two mobile apps. Snow Buddy is an application for Romanian ski and snowboard schools, covering the running of a school, and it is built with Java and React microservices across nine containers.
