Progressive Delivery Services

A path to faster cycle times with less user impact

Talk to us

Apexon helps delivery teams leverage their Progressive Delivery services & strategy to develop and test new functionality with select groups of users before rolling them out more broadly.

The next phase of DevOps – beyond Continuous Integration, Delivery & Deployment

Nobody likes unscheduled downtime. And today with the increased dependence on automation to accelerate software delivery cycles, there is more risk than ever when we release new features to a broad set of users.

What we do

Progressive Delivery Leveraging the Latest Digital Technologies

Progressive Delivery solutions prevent downtime by limiting the distribution of new code and providing learning opportunities during the delivery process so you can incorporate it into your next delivery cycle. It provides early visibility of the health of a feature rollout so you can address any issues before there is broad impact.

With Apexon’s Progressive Delivery services and strategy, delivery teams can route new services to a specific subset of users before deploying them more broadly, reduce the risk of testing in production and experiment progressively until you reach your entire base, without degrading the user experience.

Our approach

PROGRESSIVE DELIVERY services to meet your needs

Our expert team focuses on helping businesses to approach the next phase of DevOps, and beyond Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery and Continuous Deployment.

Some of these approaches include:

Traffic Management

Enables easy rules configuration and controls the flow of traffic and API calls between services.
Simplifies configuration of service-level properties like circuit breakers, timeouts, and retries, and set up of important tasks like A/B testing, canary rollouts, and staged rollouts.
Improves visibility into flow patterns and flags issues before they cause problems, increasing overall reliability.

Observability

Apexon also leverages tools for robust tracing, monitoring, and logging features to give you important insights into your service mesh deployment.

Monitoring features and custom dashboards show how service performance impacts delivery pipelines and provides visibility into the performance of all services and their impact on other processes.
Users can set, monitor and enforce SLOs on services – and detect and fix issues quickly and efficiently.

Security

Apexon leverages tools like Istio so developers can focus on security at the application level.

Istio provides the underlying secure communication channel, and manages authentication, authorization, and encryption of service communication at scale.
Service communications are secured by default, letting you enforce policies consistently across diverse protocols and runtimes – with little/no application changes.
Includes Authentication & Authorization Policies, mTLS for encryption and compliance.

Automation

Apexon also uses Istio for automation.

Automatic load balancing for HTTP, gRPC, WebSocket, and TCP traffic.
A pluggable policy layer and configuration API supporting access controls, rate limits and quotas.
Automatic metrics, logs, and traces for all traffic within a cluster, including cluster ingress and egress.

GitOps

GitOps is a way to do Kubernetes cluster management and application delivery. It uses Git as a single source of truth for declarative infrastructure and applications.
With Git at the center of delivery pipelines, developers can make pull requests to accelerate and simplify application deployments and operations tasks to Kubernetes.

Chaos Engineering

Chaos engineering is the discipline of experimenting on a distributed system, in order to build confidence in the system’s capability to withstand turbulent conditions in production.
