With over 600 successful software projects on various technologies, soxes has built up extensive knowledge of different development tools and methods. In doing so, soxes relies on a collection of different technical methods to optimize the collaboration between software development and IT operations. DevOps specifically take care of providing the infrastructure for services around software development.

For the commonly used setups, soxes pays attention to a high degree of automation in order to accelerate development without compromising on quality.

With this proven know-how, we help our customers modernize their development processes and toolchains and adapt them to their business requirements.
We also set up and operate automation pipelines for customers.

What are the benefits of DevOps?

DevOps foster close collaboration between developers and IT operations, resulting in faster releases, higher quality, and greater efficiency. It supports automated processes, improves monitoring and troubleshooting, and leads to better collaboration and communication. With DevOps, we thus aim to improve software quality, the speed of development and delivery, and the interaction between the teams involved.

  1. Faster release cycles
  2. Higher software quality
  3. Greater system stability
  4. Better collaboration and responsibility
  5. Culture of continuous improvement (Kaizen)
  6. Greater efficiency through automation
  7. Better use of cloud environments

What services does soxes offer in this area?

GitOps

Following the modern GitOps philosophy, we check in all possible dependencies with the code and also include most technical documentation in the Git repositories. This way, we minimize the time spent setting up dependencies, finding documentation, or getting an important script from a collaborator.

DevOps Toolchains

Soxes has hands-on experience with all the major development toolchains, in particular

  • Azure DevOps
  • Bitbucket /Jenkins
  • Gitlab
  • Github

Our internal toolchain is either Bitbucket or Azure Repos for version control and Azure Pipelines for CI/CD. soxes maintains an extensive library of pipeline templates for Azure Pipelines that our customers can access through their own infrastructure. The customer environment receives the pipeline descriptions from the soxes library and populates the specific parameters and secrets. Then the compiled pipeline is executed on the customer’s chosen infrastructure. This solution is fully compliant, soxes does not have access to customer data or secrets at any time.

Code analysis

SonarQube Enterprise

for source code analysis.

OWASP Dependency Check

to identify vulnerable dependencies during the development process

OWASP CycloneDX and Dependency Track

for complete software bill of materials and vulnerability analysis throughout the software lifecycle.

OWASP ZAP Attack Proxy

to identify vulnerabilities during runtime.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

soxes supports Terraform and Pulumi projects of varying complexity, from Azure Web Apps to security-critical Kubernetes clusters in regulated industries. With Infrastructure as Code, we eliminate most of the differences between our development environments and the life system. The only remaining difference is the data the solution uses. Our IaC mechanisms also take automated database migrations and test their functionality, eliminating a common source of errors during rollout to production.

Automated tests

Automated module and system tests are the key to fast release cycles without compromising quality. They enable our customers to perform extensive UI, API and load testing at will with DevOps as a Service.

DevOps according to the soxes principle

  • Fast automation

    Thanks to modern tools and templates, we set up new automation pipelines efficiently and quickly.

  • Easy to get started with GitOps

    All tools and the necessary knowledge are available in the repository - making it easier for development teams to get started.

  • Reliable code quality

    We use automated code analyses to avoid vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with company-wide standards.

  • Seamless infrastructure with IaC

    New versions are deployed or removed with a single click - fully integrated into our CI/CD pipeline.

  • Early bug detection

    Automated tests detect bugs immediately after coding - not just at release. This increases quality and shortens time-to-market.

  • Agile and experienced

    With over 24 years of experience and an agile way of working, we ensure fast adaptations and satisfied customers.
