DevOps, FinOps and MLOps

Faster deployments, known costs, working models

Deployments, cloud costs, ML models

Manual deployments cost time. An unmanaged cloud costs money. A model without monitoring loses quality over time. We put all three areas in order.

  • CI/CD
  • IaC
  • FinOps
  • MLOps

We automate how software is built and deployed. We help you control cloud costs. We move ML models from the trial stage into production.

01 / DevOps, FinOps and MLOps

DevOps

Repeatable builds, tests and deployments.

  • 01

    CI/CD

    Every code change goes through tests and reaches the environment automatically.

  • 02

    Infrastructure as code

    We describe the environment in Terraform or Ansible. Every change can be reproduced.

  • 03

    Containers

    Docker and Kubernetes. The application runs the same way in every environment.

  • 04

    Monitoring

    Metrics, logs and alerts. You see a problem before a customer reports it.

02 / DevOps, FinOps and MLOps

FinOps

According to the FinOps Foundation, it is collaboration between engineering, finance and business on technology costs.

  • 01

    Cost visibility

    We tag resources and allocate costs to teams and projects.

  • 02

    Optimisation

    We shut down unused resources. We match machine sizes to the workload.

  • 03

    Budgets and alerts

    We set spending limits. Going over budget triggers an alert.

  • 04

    Cost report

    Every month, you receive a cost report with recommendations.

03 / DevOps, FinOps and MLOps

MLOps

We automate the lifecycle of ML models.

  • 01

    Model deployment

    A model reaches production through the same process as code.

  • 02

    Model monitoring

    We track prediction quality and changes in input data.

  • 03

    Retraining

    Retraining starts on a schedule or when quality drops.

04 / DevOps, FinOps and MLOps

Process

  1. 01

    Review

    We review the deployment process, cloud bills and models.

  2. 02

    Plan

    You receive a list of changes with their cost and expected effect.

  3. 03

    Implementation

    We make changes in stages, with a rollback plan.

  4. 04

    Handover

    We hand over the code and documentation. We train the team.

05 / DevOps, FinOps and MLOps

Use cases

  • CI/CD pipeline for a web application
  • Environment described in Terraform
  • Moving an application into containers
  • Allocating cloud costs to teams
  • Shutting down test environments after working hours
  • Automatic retraining of a sales forecast model
  • Monitoring model quality in production

06 / FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is FinOps?

According to the FinOps Foundation, it is a practice in which engineering, finance and business teams share responsibility for technology costs. Each team sees the cost of its resources and is accountable for it.

Which clouds do you work with?

AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. We also work with on-premises and hybrid environments.

Do you maintain what you implement?

Yes, under a separate contract. We can also hand everything over to your team.

Does MLOps make sense for a single model?

Yes, if the model runs in production. Monitoring and repeatable deployment protect you from an unnoticed drop in quality.

Do we need Kubernetes?

Not always. With a few applications, simpler container services are often enough. We choose the tool to fit the scale.
