- The document discusses how full-stack DevOps can maximize developer productivity when implemented properly through automated processes. It emphasizes that DevOps works best when developers have dedicated time and resources for implementation. - A full-stack solution called "The Ball" is presented which utilizes tools like JetBrains TeamCity, Xamarin, Visual Studio, and TestFairy to enable automated testing, deployment and issue tracking across mobile and web platforms. - The tools are argued to simplify the DevOps process and enable even non-technical users to comply with version control requirements. With these tools, complex full-stack platforms can be developed and maintained with clear branching models and integration of builds, testing and feedback.

1. Full Stack DevOps – Ready

Maximized dev productivity

2. Team Productivity IsThe Key
Why is this sought for and how it is possible now unlike before..?

3. Automated DevOps Boosts Productivity Only
When Implemented
• Difficult to justify automated DevOps from start
• ... When you don’t even know what is built
• Without DevOps testing & issue tracking is ad-hoc
• ... Only devs who already know DevOps will miss & implement it
• DevOps done right keeps roles clear, helps juniors to adapt
• What if there are not enough seniors to make DevOps happen..?

4. Developers Decide theTech &Tools – Business
ApprovesThe Budget
• Doing DevOps requires developer’s dedicated time for it
• Especially on small teams – it pays back only when team grows
• Business decision making is focused on results
• ... Difficult to see enough benefits of ”premature” DevOps
• What if DevOps could be ”DevOpsed” for the developer – for the team..?
• ... that business can simply buy to boost the developer productivity

8. Solid Full StackToolsTo Rescue
Automated DevOps for full-stack platform to deliver from day one

9. JetBrainsTeamCity
• JetBrainsTeamCity’s at heart of DevOps Self-Automation
• Templatizable,Git-filestructure driven configuration
• Two-way version controlled CI configuration = enables automation

10. Xamarin Native & Cross Platform Mobile Stack
• Xamarin mobile cross-platform .NET solution
• Full-stack base technology – complemented with Microsoft .NET
• Visual Studio integrated .NET productivity
• JetBrains tools boosted (ReSharper, dotTrace, dotMemory)
• Essential for ”one developer mastering all platforms” – model
• Essential for simplifying cross-platform DevOps

11. MicrosoftVisual Studio (with BizSpark)
• MicrosoftVisual Studio
• Bringing Xamarin and JetBrains boosting together
• Back-end stack on solid Microsoft .NET onWindows
• BizSpark (not required, but complements options)
• Program benefits that complement full-stack DevOps
• Azure benefits for running platform & hostingTeamCity

12. JetBrainsWebStorm
• Cross platform web designer friendly IDE
• One guidance, any platform that designer(s) might prefer
• Version controlling for non-coders made ”easy enough” to be required
• Built-in web server included (for appstacks that don’t include one)
• Rich plugin-ecosystem, JavaScript-variant compilers...

13. Test Fairy
• State of art Android & iOS test deployment & management
• Supports Xamarin
• Automation integration from build to test distribution
• Video recording of test sessions
• Detailed device metrics in video timeline
• Rapid feedback, integrations to issue trackers such asYouTrack

14. JetBrainsYouTrack
• JetBrainsYouTrack – perfect issue tracking pair forTeamCity
• Cloud-available, integrations toTeamCity &TestFairy
• Developer friendly, dead simple for other team as well

18. Main differentiators for ”making impossible
finally possible”
• Full stack platform allows version control branching to be thorough
• Light enough a platform that only focuses on data authorization as core requirement
• DevOps is straightforward for clear & simple branching model
• Non-developers (such as web designers) can comply, because tooling makes it simple
• TeamCity config supportingVCS allows templating DevOps to be simple
• Xamarin’sVisual Studio/msbuild based builds bring mobile platforms together
• TestFairy’s simple uploader & support for Xamarin complement the test deployment

19. What’s required to make it happen?
• Presented scenario is doable with existing business ready solutions
• Do all the companies listed here see this kind of offering beneficial to their business?
• Is there interest to make this a business/sales accelerator?
• Finding proper bundles/licenses that comply customer use scenarios
• For example, supporting mobile-heavy bundles and web-heavy bundles
• The Ball Platform is free to use, open source – can be bound to business solutions
