The Power of LowOps.

Built for developers, on the backs of the experts. We removed the complexity so your team can move faster and deliver more!

LowOps is not ClickOps

LowOps is a superpower not a hindrance. While the Cycle portal is very intuitive and easy to use, we encourage a declarative, repeatable and automated approach. We empower our teams to do more frequent deployments, updates and roll backs, without worrying about misconfiguration or security vulnerabilities.

What is LowOps?

We know how challenging DevOps can be, so we built the Cycle platform to empower anyone building a meaningful product, no matter their expertise, to approach DevOps with confidence and simplicity.

By humanizing the experience and building approachable fundamentals that anyone could really use, LowOps is the opportunity to easily do something that is normally very complex.

Federated for Efficiency

The Cycle platform was built from the ground up with every piece in mind. We bring the power of automation, deployment, management and scaling to the user in a way that empowers them to move forward more efficiently without sacrificing control, visibility or flexibility.

Teams can standardize operations while still tailoring infrastructure to their unique needs, all from a single, unified platform.

Cycle is so effective that we often forget about it. From time to time, they ping us to check if we need any help; most of the time, we don't. The infrastructure just works, so we can focus on building our features. They live up to their motto, 'LowOps DevOps.'

Declarative

Environments-as-code or Stacks are the blueprints for your applications. Using YAML, JSON or portal, your services can be defined, source-controlled and deployed. Roll backs and new deployments are automated. Stacks define everything from the containers and their configurations, to the scoped variables, load balancer configurations and other service configurations in a single file.

Visibility

Low level observability and monitoring are baked into the platform without the help of 3rd party integrations. Audit trails and logs provide an easy way to track what's being done, all from one single plane of glass.

Speed to Iterate

Deploying directly from your repository has never been easier. Setting up CI/CD integrations with your favorite tools makes it easy for anyone to deploy new images and iterate fast if something needs changed.

Scale

Growing teams grow faster with the scalability of Cycle. Our in-house load balancer allows for easy auto-scaling, and disaster recovery. Hybrid infrastructure and multi-region support allows for easy migration between providers and smarter resource utilization.

Developer Experience

Reducing friction and empowering developers by allowing use of the API, portal and CLI to self-serve in a way that's never been done before.

Governance

Peace of mind is priority when you empower your developers to do more. Role based access controls (RBAC) can be granularly defined to all levels of your organization allowing your policies and compliance to be enforced throughout the process.
