Our Selected DevOps Projects
What Our Customers Say
We first contacted ScienceSoft because we needed senior-level expertise in .NET and DevOps, and we needed it quickly. ScienceSoft's DevOps engineers helped us optimize our infrastructure and set up a continuous software delivery process. The team is very professional, well-organized, and is always on top of the finer details. We're impressed by their passion for solving problems and implementing improvements.
We cooperated with ScienceSoft’s test automation team to validate the e-store’s performance under an increasing load. The collaboration with ScienceSoft helped stabilize the store’s performance and ensure its full compliance with the performance requirements. We also received all the test scripts and instructions on how to run them.
