DevOps with Github
DevOps with Github
Our integration of Azure DevOps with GitHub brings together two powerful platforms to streamline and enhance your development processes. This powerful union provides a unified platform where teams can effortlessly collaborate, manage repositories, and gain end-to-end visibility into every stage of the development lifecycle. With features like agile planning, automated CI/CD pipelines, and robust security measures, your development processes are elevated to new heights.
If you run a version of TFS before 2015, we are the helping hand to migrate your legacy (TFVC) repositories to Git and enable GitHub usage for you and your system. As a Microsoft partner organization, we offer expertise in tailoring this integration to your unique needs, ensuring a smooth transition and unlocking the full potential of these platforms.

Our DevOps Approach
- Continuous Integration (CI)
We embrace CI to ensure that code changes are automatically integrated and tested. This helps us identify and address issues early in the development process.
- Continuous Delivery (CD)
With CD, we automate the delivery process to move code changes from integration to testing, and eventually to production. This results in faster and more reliable software releases.
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
Our infrastructure is defined as code, enabling us to provision and manage infrastructure resources through code. This ensures consistency and reduces manual errors.
- Automated Testing
We prioritize automated testing to validate software functionality, performance, and security. This guarantees that each release meets the highest quality standards.
- Monitoring and Logging
Proactive monitoring and logging are integral to our DevOps practices. We continuously track application performance, detect anomalies, and address issues before they impact your business.
- Security (DevSecOps)
Security is embedded throughout our DevOps pipeline. We implement security best practices and conduct regular security assessments to safeguard your applications and data.
- Collaboration & Communication
Our DevOps culture emphasizes collaboration and communication between development, operations, and other stakeholders. This ensures everyone is aligned with project goals.
