The Tech Chorus DevOps Platform

Over the last decade, the way we develop and deploy software has transformed significantly. This transformation has brought together various sub-disciplines, collectively known as DevOps engineering, including:

  • IT Engineering: Focused on hardware and networking infrastructure.
  • System Administration: Responsible for managing servers in racks, data centers, or colocation services.
  • Cloud Infrastructure Engineering: Specializes in managing public cloud infrastructure.
  • Platform Engineering: Builds and maintains platforms for deploying software applications, abstracting away complexity for users.

Introducing the Tech Chorus DevOps Platform

The Tech Chorus DevOps Platform is both a framework and software platform designed to host and run software applications and services. It facilitates the creation of cloud-based infrastructure from scratch and adheres to an opinionated approach, integrating best practices and tradeoffs. The platform offers a reference architecture and implementation to meet the most common use cases, with a strong emphasis on open-source technologies.

Features of the Tech Chorus DevOps Platform

  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Build your cloud network from the ground up using IaC principles.
  • CI/CD Orchestration: Deploy a comprehensive CI/CD service on your cloud network.
  • GitOps Integration: Seamlessly connect your source repositories to the CI/CD pipelines.
  • Continuous Deployment: Automatically build and deploy your applications.
  • Kubernetes-Centric Design: Leverages Kubernetes as the primary computing layer, running CI/CD pipelines, dependent services, and your applications.
  • Cloud Service Orchestration: Manage cloud-dependent services, including databases, object storage, file systems, and message queues.
  • Monitoring: Integrates robust monitoring solutions for both infrastructure and applications.

Supported Cloud Providers

The Tech Chorus DevOps Platform supports the following environments:

  • AWS
  • Azure
  • GCP
  • On-Premises Data Centers

What Types of Applications Can You Host?

The short answer: Any application.

The long answer: While you can host any application, the platform is optimized for custom web applications. These typically include:

  • Application Types: Monoliths or microservice-based architectures.
  • Source Code Hosting: Platforms like GitHub or similar services.
  • Programming Languages: Support for Java, Python, JavaScript, Go, and more.
  • Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, Cassandra, etc.
  • Additional Services: Integration with message queues, object storage, and other cloud services.
  • Ingress Support: Public and private endpoints.
  • Build and Test Workflow: Pre-deployment processes include building and testing the application.
