Bit.io created a zero-setup, scalable cloud database to help data scientists and engineers easily find, store, query and share data. We helped prepare the company for a successful launch, by evaluating leading infrastructure tools and building a cutting-edge development environment that’s optimized for fast onboarding and productivity.

Deliverables
Bit.io had built their development workflow around the Tilt dev environment, for a rapid iteration ‘inner loop’ that allowed their developers to make changes and immediately see the results. They turned to Fluxon for help in identifying and deploying a single solution that they could rely on for both local development and cloud deployment.
Fluxon collaborated closely with Bit.io at every stage of development. We explored and evaluated various tools, recommending the configuration of Tilt for local development, and evaluating continuous integration (CI) and continuous deployment (CD) tooling to connect with cloud Kubernetes clusters. We sped up CI build times to improve developer velocity, building out the Kubernetes infrastructure for QA and production. Together, we introduced engineering best practices around infrastructure monitoring, logging and alerting. These were combined with automated tests covering critical features, to inform and report any failures to developers.
