How Assessments Work

At RisingStack we've been writing full-stack software in JavaScript and deploying them in the Cloud for five years now, and have amassed tremendous experience in it which allowed us to build a strong DevOps culture.

Our engineers can help you by conducting a thorough assessment of the whole lifecycle of your development. This includes

  • code and architecture reviews,
  • developer tooling checkup,
  • CI/CD pipeline validation,
  • deployment target assessment,
  • security checkup
  • and giving advice on observability which includes logging, monitoring and distributed tracing.

A full assessment usually takes one or two weeks. However, the review is only the beginning of the journey. To make sure you stay on the right track as you keep evolving your software, you can book RisingStack’s consultants for a certain amount of hours / month as well and reach out to them when their expertise is needed.

"testimonial": "RisingStack helped us to carry out an internal Kubernetes cluster audit for TIKI's Data Science Platform. Together, the mixed team was able to identify over 10 relevant topics and was able to solve most of them during the five day on-site engagement. After the intense work and exchange, the team was able to solve the remaining topics within next 8 weeks. At the present time DSP runs smoothly and there are no design or performance bottlenecks."

"testimonial": "Working with RisingStack has been a great experience so far, they are group of professionals and experts in the field. The thing we liked the most is that they adapt the training to all the different levels in the room and this makes it very easy to follow the new concepts they are presenting. Advanced React training was pretty good and one thing we will highlight, is that they published the repository in case somebody would need it in the future."

"testimonial": "I have gained more appreciation for the Microservices course after reviewing the slides a few days after. To me, this means that I wasn't able to keep up with all the useful information that was provided due to the speed of the training (might be my fault). Thanks for putting together such a course and bringing it to Barcelona, it is obvious that this could only come from a group of people who have faced these challenges many times before."

Why RisingStack

Embracing new technologies can be both exciting and frustrating. When you try to migrate legacy code to a new platform, you are already familiar with the problems of your existing infrastructure and codebase, but you are probably not that familiar with all the risks the change imposes on you. In these cases it is beneficial to consult with an expert.

Developers often run into problems even without switching technologies, such as discovering performance bottlenecks and memory leaks. Even if your engineers are experienced in the language you work with, they still need to ship features quickly, thus these kind of issues can linger on for a long time, forever sitting in the backlog.

Our consultants can pinpoint the source of these problems and guide you in fixing them, so your engineers can focus on writing code, instead of going down the rabbit hole.
