DEVOPS HEALTH CHECK: OPTIMIZE YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE PERFOMANCE
Software development teams face ongoing pressure to deliver features more rapidly while mitigating risk. Unfortunately, many organizations have implemented DevOps structures that are suitable for day-to-day practice, but are not functioning at optimal levels. The phenomena of “small” inefficiencies that build over time can create bottlenecks that limit the availability of functions, thus limiting the organization’s ability to release features, and increasing developers’ cognitive load.
AppRecode’s DevOps health check helps identify these hidden problems before they become major issues. We’ve worked with companies where a simple configuration change reduced deployment time from 2 hours to 20 minutes. Other times, we’ve found security gaps that could have exposed sensitive customer data. The goal is catching these issues early and fixing them systematically.

InsuranceWhat Our Infrastructure Assessment Covers
A customised DevOps health check isn’t just about running automated scans and generating reports. We actually spend time understanding how your team works and where the friction points are. Some companies have beautiful CI/CD pipelines that look great in demonstrations but fail randomly in production because edge cases weren’t handled properly.
Addressing Concerns
The assessment generally commences with your existing pain points as described during the intake meeting. Perhaps you are able to deliver deployments fine under normal hours, but when someone tries to fix something by deploying a fix at 12:00 am, the deployment fails. Perhaps your monitoring provides alerts on everything, and your developer team has developed the habit of ignoring any alerts. Perhaps you are spending far too much on cloud infrastructure because your auto-scaling functionality is not configured properly; you do not want to allow those extra billable hours to continue accruing while you figure out the problem!
Operations Analysis
We examine the entire technology stack during our focused DevOps health check. Build processes, automated testing, deployment strategies, monitoring setup, security implementations – everything gets reviewed. But we also pay attention to the human side of the equation. How do your developers and operations people collaborate? Are they constantly waiting for each other, or do they have smooth handoffs?
Targeted Solutions
The assessment isn’t about finding fault with existing work. Most teams build systems that solve immediate problems with available resources. Instead, we look for opportunities where targeted improvements can have outsized impact. Sometimes reorganizing a few build steps cuts total pipeline time in half. Other times, adjusting monitoring thresholds eliminates alert fatigue and helps teams focus on real issues.

Specialized Approaches for Different Environments
Every organization has unique requirements based on their technology choices, team structure, and business constraints. We adapt our assessment methodology accordingly. For companies using Microsoft technologies extensively, we offer an Azure DevOps health check that focuses specifically on optimizing Azure-based tools and workflows.
Azure Evaluation
Azure environments have particular optimization opportunities that don’t apply to other platforms. Azure DevOps integrates well with other Microsoft services, but only when configured properly. We’ve seen organizations struggle with Azure pipelines that should complete in minutes but take hours because of suboptimal agent configuration or inefficient task ordering.
Practical Concerns
The evaluation covers practical concerns that affect daily operations. Can your infrastructure handle unexpected traffic spikes without degrading performance? How quickly can you deploy critical bug fixes when customers are affected? What happens when key systems fail during peak business hours? These questions directly impact customer satisfaction and revenue.
Complexity Check
We will also review your current devops services and solutions to identify what is working and what may be adding unnecessary complexity. Sometimes, teams will adopt new tools with the expectation that it will rectify an existing problem. What they may end up doing is adding more moving parts to their DevOps structure, while failing to rectify existing pain points. An assessment of your deployment process will help clarify elements of your existing tooling that are helpful, along with identifying sources of technological complexity that do not add proportional or equal value.
Converting Analysis Into Practical Improvements
Assessment reports that identify problems without explaining how to fix them aren’t particularly useful. Our DevOps health check report prioritizes recommendations based on potential impact and implementation difficulty. We’ve learned that most teams can handle 2-3 significant changes simultaneously without disrupting ongoing work.
Detailed Guides To Implementation
Each recommendation includes specific implementation steps, realistic timelines, and expected results. If we suggest implementing infrastructure as code, we explain which tools make sense for your environment, how to structure the migration, and what benefits you’ll see at each phase. This detail comes from actually implementing these changes in various environments, not just theoretical knowledge.
Feedback As Strategy's Part
Every assessment concludes with a strategy session where we review findings together. These discussions often reveal additional context that influences our recommendations. Maybe you’re planning a major platform migration next year, which affects which improvements make sense to implement now versus later. Or budget constraints might require phasing improvements over several quarters.
Making It Work Better
The most successful implementations happen when teams understand not just what to change, but why those changes matter for business outcomes. Faster deployment pipelines aren’t just technical improvements – they enable quicker response to customer needs and faster resolution of production issues. Better monitoring doesn’t just reduce alerts – it helps teams identify and fix problems before customers notice them.
Why Choose AppRecode for Your Assessment
We’ve engaged with organizations ranging from tiny start-ups to massive companies, all with different challenges and limitations. Our experience enables us to see patterns and provide recommendations that may not be immediately apparent to you when you’re aligned with one environment.
Detailed Asessment Based On Expirience
One of the things we’ve learned is that for any DevOps initiative to be successful requires a heavy people and process component and not simply a technology one. You can have a fully realized automation stack – but it doesn’t make any difference if people do not trust the automation or know how to leverage it effectively. That’s why our assessments include both organizational and technical factors.
Tailored Approach For Your Needs
We also recognize that every organization has limitations – budget environment, skills and gap skills, and legacy systems that cannot be replaced. The recommendations we provide recognize this environment, and regardless of how to might speak about re-inventing the wheel, we will work within the realities rather than assuming that you can build an entirely new environment. Sometimes the best action is optimally using what you have instead of implementing a brand new environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
We review CI/CD pipeline performance, infrastructure automation, security practices, monitoring and alerting systems, deployment processes, team workflows, and key performance metrics. The assessment combines technical analysis with team interviews to understand how everything works in practice. You’ll get detailed findings for each area plus recommendations prioritized by potential impact.
Most assessments will take us 1-2 weeks, depending on the complexity of the infrastructure and number of systems to be examined with the organization. This time includes an initial assessment, a detailed analysis, a report and a consultation meeting to review the results and plans to implement any findings. We try to minimize any disruption to on-going work throughout the process.
Yes, we offer Azure DevOps Health Check Services that center on Microsoft specific tools and best practices. We know how Azure DevOps, Azure Resource Manager, Azure Monitor, and other Microsoft services function together, as well as common configuration issues that impact performance in Azure environments.
Monitoring tools show what is happening on your systems, but they are not assessing if your overall DevOps approach is effectively meeting business objectives. Our assessment takes a broader view of your total approach to DevOps: how well are all the tools working together, are the metrics monitored appropriate, do the processes create unnecessary bottlenecks, and what would be easy improvements with the most impact on team productivity.
All clients receive a complete report on the DevOps health check that contains prioritized recommendations, suggestions on how to implement improvements, estimates of the time needed to implement each recommendation, and an outline of the expected impact of each suggested change. We also do a consultation session to walk through the report together and to answer any queries you have on the report and to assist you to determine the best improvements to implement based on your available resources.
