Grid Dynamics creates developer portal
Product engineering company Grid Dynamics has launched a developer portal that is intended to act as a self-service system designed to streamline the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
It provides a unified interface for managing software components, environments and provisioning templates.
The portal also centralises access to release management, continuous integration, incident management and other development systems in a unified facade.
The system intends to provide Grid Dynamics clients with accelerated development cycles, reduced operational complexity and higher developer productivity.
According to Grid Dynamics. development teams face increased complexity from a large number of tools, environments, dashboards and tracking systems.
The Grid Dynamics developer portal acts as a control centre for development teams, providing one system that automates, streamlines and provides visibility into the SDLC.
Its main capabilities include management of environments, software components and their APIs, provisioning and deployment and automatic environment checks with resource optimization recommendations. By integrating essential development tools and processes into a single, modular framework, the portal enables teams to focus on what matters most.
“Modern engineering teams work with extensive sets of development tools and systems that can make it difficult for developers and DevOps engineers to get a 360-degree view of all resources and manage templates across all systems. Many companies struggle to adequately address this problem or develop expensive custom solutions that bridge the gaps,” said Ilya Katsov, VP of technology at Grid Dynamics. “Our developer portal provides a modular and customisable framework for solving this problem at a low cost. Our clients can now efficiently build custom self-service portals for accessing broad ranges of internal tools and resources to improve the productivity of their teams and ensure consistency of processes.”
Grid Dynamics’ developer portal serves various critical use cases across the software development lifecycle including portfolio management, environment control, release automation and knowledge base querying.
Serving as a central hub, the developer portal also connects various aspects of the SDLC pertaining to discovery, integration and governance.
