How to Get Your SaaS App into Production Quickly and Easily

You’ve developed a cloud-based application. Do you have the foundation you need to put your app into production?

Software-as-a-Service is a popular application delivery model in a wide range of industries, from healthcare to financial services to hospitality and retail. It enables developers to sell their software as a subscription-based service rather than a one-time license, giving them recurring revenue, a low barrier to entry and access to a larger customer base. Customers like it because it doesn’t require an upfront investment and maintenance and updates are built in.

In order to maximize the value of SaaS, however, developers must pair it with the DevOps model. DevOps helps ensure the efficiency of SaaS delivery by automating many processes and enabling collaboration between development and operations. It is proven to speed time to market, reduce operational costs and encourage continuous improvement.

That said, implementing DevOps processes and a CI/CD pipeline can be challenging, particularly for startups and organizations transitioning to a more agile model. DeSeMa’s SaaS managed service is designed to bridge this gap.

Turnkey Solution

This unique, turnkey service allows you to fully outsource the operation of your SaaS application. We install your app, monitor it, and ensure that it’s highly available and secure.

We’ll launch your development and preproduction environments and give you access to the console. You simply push the source code into the Git repository we provide and walk it through your check processes for QAC. We provide all the backend tools you need in a hosted environment — load balancing, vulnerability scanning, pen testing, replication, disaster recovery and more. We also handle all the work needed to get your app into production and keep it healthy.

Security testing is an integral part of this service. The preproduction environment includes automated static and dynamic testing, which we integrate with your bug tracking utility. If the testing tools identify a vulnerability, they will report back to that utility. You can decide whether to stop production to fix the problem or push the code into production if it’s a noncritical issue.

Customized, Fully Managed Service

Through our onboarding process, we will assess your application to determine the design and configuration of your environment. It then takes about six months to get your CI/CD pipeline online. After that, anyone on your team can access whatever apps they need, and it’s literally on demand.

We will set up a master service account with your cloud host in your company’s name, and you pay the cloud provider directly. That way, if you ever want us to stop managing your application, you can walk away without losing your entire environment. We will charge you a separate monthly fee based upon capacity for our automation tools and management services.

Best of all, this service is fully managed by the experts at DeSeMa. Our team has extensive experience setting up and tuning CI/CD pipelines and automated tools for security testing. It’s an out-of-the-box, plug-and-play solution that delivers on the promise of the cloud.

Is It Right for You?

DeSeMa’s SaaS managed service is ideal for startups facing the long and arduous process of establishing their own CI/CD pipelines — particularly given the acute DevOps skills shortage. It is much faster and easier to come to us and get a prebuilt, turnkey environment than trying to develop their own in-house teams.

Many organizations that have implemented DevOps tools and processes recognize that their CI/CD pipelines are not as effective or efficient as they should be. Rather than trying to fix their pipelines, they can use ours.

Is this solution right for your organization? Ask yourself these questions:

  • Do you have enough people on your DevOps team? Do you have a SecOps team?

  • Do you have a fully functioning CI/CD pipeline? Is it doing what you need it to do?

  • Are you capable of static and dynamic source code reviews?

While a number of providers offer outsourced DevOps, DeSeMa’s solution is a turnkey, fully managed service. Contact us today to learn how we can get your app into production quickly and keep it running smoothly.
