Our Story

Born out of the persistent and widespread challenges of moving new SaaS releases from software development to the real-time operational environment of production; AskLytics was founded to make DevOps easier and to empower Performance QA Engineers and Ops to work together.

With the arrival of SaaS came the opportunity to release software more frequently. The subsequent growth in the adoption of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), led to an overwhelming influx of server types to choose from. As if finding the right server at the right price wasn’t hard enough, it was further compounded by configuration options already available on virtual machines and servers. The elastic nature of the cloud provided opportunities to adapt configurations to changing loads, but making the correct determination is a significant challenge for small and medium-sized teams and budgets.

There are many tools to test functionality and application performance, but very little help to determine the type of compute instance and the optimal configuration of virtual machines and servers. Before AskLytics, it was near impossible to predict the impact of new releases on infrastructure. Software development would be completed, but the process of uptake to a live production setting would drag on and on.

There simply had to be a way to make DevOps smarter.

In 2016 we resolved to find a solution that would improve the lives of DevOps. AskLytics uses analytics driven by domain-specific algorithms and machine learning to provide foresight to DevOps. Now they can look ahead with confidence and see the impact of new software releases. They are no longer working in darkness. They are no longer spending untold hours running unreliable tests.

Instead, they can quickly and reliably determine the optimal infrastructure to meet their performance goals and save money in the process.
