Ops made easy
You know how to code. Algorithms, data structures, all that. Or maybe, you know, just get things done. It works on your computer, good start!
It is not enough. It has to work in the cloud so users can access it from anywhere and enjoy the results of your hard work.
It is still not enough…
Your application will crash. It could be one of those Frodo bugs that escape the eye of Sauron. It could be that the server is having a bad day. It could be anything. End-users won’t like it.
Your Super Mario Broth copycat game is big in Japan, so much so that it crawls under the hordes of enthusiast users. That’s a nice problem to have. A problem still it is, young Padawan.
Drama aside, this is just to say that while Dev-ing amazing features goes a long way, you can’t neglect Ops: cloud deployment, crash recovery, scalability, high availability, security, all the -ities. Or if you prefer: just works, always on, blazing fast. Top Mario Brass, your fiercest competitor, is like that.
CodeNOW makes Ops easy enough that you do it all yourself without a care in the world. Ship apps with the best features (that’s on you) with the best end-user experience cloud infrastructure can give (Cloud Native Ops - that’s on us). That’s our vision anyways.
In short, CodeNOW helps you deliver applications that:
- recover automatically from failure
- are easy to rollback when there is a bug at 2 a.m. on Sunday morning
- automatically maintain a high level of availability, be it Black Friday or White Monday
Like Google, Twitter, Facebook, and all the top guys — but without a Ph.D. in AWS or Kubernetes.
The open cloud-native DevOps platform
CodeNOW is a cloud-native DevOps platform that implements the best practices in software delivery with which Amazon, Netflix, Google, and other digital leaders deliver software features every day. Gartner sees us as a representative member of the DevOps Value Stream Delivery Platform category.
Like the big guys, CodeNOW is a member of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. Cloud-native patterns and tools fully leverage the cloud capabilities to deliver the highly available, scalable, reliable, resilient, and secure applications that your users demand — and your competitors may already be delivering.
Unlike many other DevOps platforms, CodeNOW eliminates vendor lock-in by using exclusively open-source technologies to build, ship, and monitor applications. Run CodeNOW on-prem or on public clouds. Deploy your application in a single-cloud or multi-cloud setting with full control of cloud spend — no surprise billing.
Unlike many other DevOps platforms, CodeNOW keeps it simple, makes choices for you, and hides it all behind a friendly front-end interface that lets developers deploy applications with just a few clicks.
We stand on the shoulders of giants. We integrate the same best practices as digital leaders: abstracted infrastructure, modular applications, continuous integration, containerized deployments, container orchestration, observability, and more. Except you won’t have to master Docker, Kubernetes, Amazon S3/EC2/SQS/RDS/your favorite acronyms here....
Like other end-to-end DevOps platforms, CodeNOW improves the productivity of your team with a centralized platform that automates the software delivery lifecycle. With automation, you improve the productivity of your human resources — less people produce the same output. With centralization, you improve the productivity of your financial resources — no duplicate licenses, no paying for 20 AWS products. More bang for your buck.

High-quality software that drives your top line
CodeNOW is a piece of software that helps software development teams create and run high-quality applications on any cloud infrastructure. Applications created with CodeNOW are secure by default, recover automatically from failure, scale up and down without user experience degradation, upgrade without downtime, and are fixed quickly when bugs occur. CodeNOW automates the software delivery lifecycle so you can continuously deliver features to users as soon as they need them.
We don't say high-quality to boast or in reference to some ISO standards. In technical terms, the characteristics of CodeNOW applications that we just described are security, resilience, scalability, high availability, and observability. Those are often referred to as quality attributes of running distributed systems.
The quality attributes of running software translate directly into the quality of the software as perceived by its end-users. Secure applications do not lead to your bank account being breached. Resilient and highly available applications let users buy services at the place and time of their choosing. Scalability means that even during periods of high-demand (e.g., Christmas, Super Bowl), end users complete their purchases as speedily as usual.
For end-users, quality however does not stop there. The first quality of software is to satisfy the needs of its target users. Today's customers are used to customized products, services, and features delivered when they want them, in the channel of their choice, at any time of the day. As a result, businesses need to innovate faster. They need to react faster to changes in the market. They must deliver software much more rapidly, frequently, and reliably. This is where CodeNOW's automation of the software delivery lifecycle contributes to quality.
It is possible that in the past decade delivering high-quality cloud applications was an exceptional feat achieved only by a few elite businesses (looking at you Netflix!). Today this is the baseline. From that baseline, businesses can start differentiating through their offering. Below that baseline, you are not even competing.
