Editor's Notes
- #3 Well, We don’t have an office family photo mainly because most of the team is camera shy. So I have a photo with the view from our offices. SO, We are a small company of 14 people. Last fiscal year we had revenues of about a million. We maintain a revenue growth of 20% for the last 3 years (which is I guess a good number). This is coming from 19 projects (large and small). 70% of our profits come from abroad. And we offer this line of services: SW Development, ICT Consulting, Integration BUT, we do not have a single product. We are a services company. In principle we solve problems through technology and innovation. We listen to our clients, we work with the end users, we analyze their needs and we design the best possible solution for each particular case. We implemented it by developing a workable system, usually with the help of other trusted partners from research and industry.
- #4 Working in projects is exciting and fun. You tend to learn new things every time, to travel a lot, to meet new fascinating people. But as fun and exciting as it is, the world is changing now faster than ever and new technology trends appear …./// … and we feel that have to participate more actively with our own ideas.
- #6 Multiple main branches for different environments. Master for development, Staging, Production. New branch for each new feature, issue. Starting with feature-, issue-, hotfix-, etc. Pull requests are used to merge feature/issue branches with master and promote/deploy code between environments. Master > Staging > Production. Bottom line: Developers can use branches to work independently without intefiering with each other. Developers can commit their code without having to push them to the live repository at once or even work offline. Developers create new branches for features or issues. Once a feature or issue is resolved developers create Pull Requests to have their work merged with the master branch. Different workflows for testing, deployment etc for each main branch. Once a branch is ready for deployment on the staging or production environment a Pull Request is created for the corresponding branch. Issue tracking Internal and External system for reporting issues. Agile oriented issue labels. Backlog, Working, Ready, Done. Keep track of time spent on issues/milestones/projects.
- #7 Continuous Integration (gitlab-ci) Tests are automatically run on each push and pull request. Pull requests to master are automatically merged if testing passes. Pushes to staging/production branches trigger the automatic deployment to the corresponding environment once testing passed successfully. Initiate end-to-end testing after deployment.
