As an addition to Pythian’s existing Advanced Consulting Partner status in the APN, the DevOps Competency further validates the company’s deep capabilities and demonstrated performance in helping customers transform their business to be more efficient and agile leveraging the AWS platform and DevOps principles, particularly around continuous integration, continuous delivery and configuration management.

Organizations like Shutterfly, an Internet-based publishing service, have already benefited from Pythian DevOps-related expertise including cloud database replication, sharding, monitoring and tooling. Pythian brought Shutterfly deep MySQL and distributed systems experience, along with a DevOps team that provided expertise in configuration management, orchestration and operational visibility, all critical to helping the company integrate a new application on time. By taking advantage of AWS, Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS), Chef and MySQL, Shutterfly experienced zero downtime during launch and improved application stability, flexibility and scalability for bursts and web-scale growth.
“Pythian DevOps and managed services was a good investment because we got the environment we needed, when we needed it. In the context of the project, it was a high-value solution that fit our budget,” said Charles Howard, DBA manager of Internet operations at Shutterfly.
