“Large organizations like Google, Apple, Netflix, and Uber can afford to put so much effort and resources into automation for deployment, scaling, monitoring, and security compliance. They no longer have DevOps teams. Instead, they have a self-diagnosing and self-healing system that does this automatically, managed by the developers. The question now is how other companies can implement this automation. So OptIq provides the same quality solutions for developers of software companies ,” said Keshav Murthy, CEO of Optical IQ.
Software developers spend an average of 15 hours per week doing non-productive operations work due to poor CI/CD processes. Currently, it takes 3 to 6 months to bring cloud infrastructure to ISO, SOC2 and PCI standards. OptIQ will help companies optimize these questions through its AI-based platform, according to the company’s statement.
“DevOps is more important than ever, and at the same time, companies are struggling to expand their DevOps teams with the right talent. OptIQ addresses this by productizing DevOps, so companies of all sizes can gain access to the same skills as larger companies. The same level of DevOps automation, but Better Capital’s Vaibhav Domkundwar said: “We are delighted to have worked with Keshav and Harsh from the ground up. “
