Engineering leads need clear, quantifiable insights to make smart decisions. While generating reports and data on team performance is easy for Software Engineering Intelligence (SEI) platforms, the real challenge is integrating these platforms without compromising the security of your on-premises infrastructure. As technology evolves, pushing innovation while maintaining security becomes increasingly complex. That’s where DevDynamics shines, offering seamless on-premises integration that keeps your data secure and your development processes running smoothly.
Understanding the challenge
Security and control
Security is the biggest concern in on-premises development and maintenance. Data breaches, unauthorized access, and compliance risks are always looming. For many organizations, keeping critical data on-premises is non-negotiable. This often means missing out on the advanced analytics and insights that cloud-based solutions offer.
CTOs, VPs and Engineering Managers often wonder how to leverage a software engineering intelligence platform without exposing sensitive data to the outside world.
Existing infrastructure
Many enterprises already have solid systems using tools like GitLab, Jenkins, and Jira. The idea of overhauling these systems or risking downtime during integration can be scary. You need a solution that fits right into your current setup without causing any disruptions.
Why devdynamics on-premises support stands out
Seamless integration
DevDynamics understands the importance of a hassle-free integration process. With our on-premises solution, you can connect to your existing tools and platforms. Whether you’re using GitLab, Bitbucket, Jenkins, or Jira, DevDynamics provides API connectivity that makes integration straightforward.
Here's a quick look at how it works (For GitLab) :
1. Select git provider: Choose GitLab Server or any other supported version control system.
2. IP whitelisting: If your server is behind a firewall, simply whitelist DevDynamics’ IP addresses to enable secure access.
3. Insert server URL: Enter your server’s URL and let DevDynamics establish a secure connection.
4. Create access tokens: Generate and provide access tokens for data exchange.
This process ensures that your existing infrastructure remains intact while you gain the advanced analytics capabilities of DevDynamics.
Enhanced security
Security is at the core of DevDynamics' on-premises solution. By keeping your tools and infrastructure isolated from the outside world, you significantly reduce the risks associated with transferring sensitive information to the cloud. With IP whitelisting, only DevDynamics is authorized to call your APIs, ensuring that data exchange remains secure and controlled.
In situations where DevDynamics cannot directly access your system through APIs, we provide a specialized agent that can be deployed within your infrastructure. This agent extracts required data from your tools and securely pushes it to DevDynamics, eliminating the need for direct API calls. The agent operates entirely within your network and it can pull data from a wide range of tools, including version control systems, CI/CD pipelines, and issue-tracking platforms.
These full-fledged connectivity and security measures, including API connectivity, personal access tokens, IP whitelisting, and DevDynamics' agent, will make sure your compliance and regulatory needs are met.
Real-world impact
Boosting productivity and quality
DevDynamics provides comprehensive metrics on productivity, velocity, code quality, and more. Integrating with tools like Jenkins and SonarQube gives you a holistic view of your development lifecycle.
For instance, an Engineering Manager can quickly identify bottlenecks in the CI/CD pipeline and address them proactively. A CTO can track DORA metrics to measure and improve deployment frequency, lead time for changes, and mean time to recovery.
Tailored insights
DevDynamics doesn’t just throw data at you; it provides insights tailored to your organization’s needs. Whether it’s identifying high-risk areas in your codebase or monitoring team well-being, DevDynamics delivers the information you need to make an informed decision
