Architecting SaaS applications on AWS

It can be a daunting task for SaaS vendors who want to leverage the innovation, and agility of the cloud.  SaaS solutions are not a one size fits all approach and often the unique needs of customers, markets, and businesses will dictate the flavour of SaaS that best fits a customer’s environment. The SaaS delivery model presents developers with a new landscape of technical, operational, and deployment considerations.

We are heavy users of the AWS SaaS Enablement Framework which provides an end-to-end review of concepts surrounding SaaS architecture and operations. This enables our customers to create a structured approach to rethinking their design, adopting a more agile approach to delivering solutions in a subscription model, and helps them to have a closer look at the different migration models.

DevOps

With more and more of our customers deploying new applications to the cloud, Test Triangle have been redesigning and automating processes which enable our customers to deploy more efficiently to AWS.
Our goal is to enable your teams to go faster whilst enabling them to deliver business and customer value constantly and consistently. Test Triangle can make sure that you are getting the most from Devops principles and practices for your development and production platforms, while at the same time ensuring that it is integrated
into your operational and management processes.

Our Devops culture and principles:

• Communicate and collaborate– work closely with our customers development and systems teams as part of an integrated, agile, project delivery and operations service
• Automate everything– seek opportunities to integrate build, testing and promotion with your application development life cycle for both code, infrastructure and operations tools
• Infrastructure as code– use a declarative approach to infrastructure, system software deployment, application deployment, metrics, logging, security controls, and backup managed with a revision control system
• No ssh or RDP– not only does this reinforce the idea of automation, it also allows us to operate at scale
• Standardise and repeat– development, test, production all built from the same code and infrastructure changes follow the same path as application changes Alert on business service key performance indicators, not just infrastructure status
• Use technology and tools that support (not hinder) dynamic platforms (both in terms of capacity and agility)
• Change Management, Configuration Management, Testing, Incident Management– agility and speed doesn’t mean management and control do not apply.
