Bus Factor is a measure of risk to a project or organization due to the loss of key personnel. For software engineering teams, a low bus factor (meaning only a few people hold critical knowledge or skills) can lead to complications that result in product failures.

Creating a platform? You're in the right spot. Our mission at Cycle started with a clear purpose: to create the best platform for building platforms. Here's the thing, there's really no easy way to build a platform. It requires making a lot of tough technology decisions that can affect success, growth, and upkeep for years to come. There are however some ways to make things simpler. Here are the three technology decisions I've seen make the biggest impact and how to navigate them.

In the world of DevOps, engineering organizations are constantly seeking solutions that can simplify operations, reduce overhead, and accelerate development. While a number of container orchestration platforms exist, their complexity and high maintenance demands often leave engineering leaders seeking alternatives. This is where Cycle comes in. Cycle’s LowOps container orchestration and infrastructure management platform is designed to get your team to 80% efficiency from day one.

In recent years, Kubernetes has emerged as the go-to solution for container orchestration, offering flexibility and scalability for deploying and managing applications. However, organizations quickly realize that the allure of its open-source nature can be deceiving—while free to download, the costs of managing Kubernetes can stack up rapidly. Initially embraced for its agility, Kubernetes soon reveals its complexity.

No, I'm not talking about 'OpenAI', though you certainly can use it to assist in your API designs. I'm talking about the OpenAPI standard, a modern spec for defining REST APIs. If you're reading this, I probably don't need to tell you that REST APIs are ubiquitous in tech. Practically every company has at least one, whether it be an internal or customer facing API. While other types of APIs have been gaining traction the last few years (GraphQL, gRPC, etc), REST is here to stay.

The developer friendly container platform. Choose your infrastructure provider, import your containers, and let Cycle handle the rest.
Containers have changed the way developers build, deploy, and scale software. Unfortunately, the adoption of containers has also lead to an ever-growing stack of technical debt and responsibilities for teams to manage.
Interested in utilizing containers, on your own infrastructure, without having to deal with the OS, networks, or a container orchestration layer? Welcome to Cycle.
Container Orchestration Meets SaaS:
- Always Up-to-Date: Stop dealing with OS patches and orchestration layer updates; Cycle automatically delivers platform updates to all servers.
- Automate Everything: Deployment pipelines, automatic TLS / SSL certificates, and more. Cycle is there when you need it -- and out of the way when you don’t.
- Bring Your Own Infrastructure: Effortlessly deploy infrastructure from any of our supported providers. Own your data and your applications while we handle the rest.
- Develop Faster: Cycle was built for both experienced developers and new users alike. Manage containers, servers, DNS, and more, all on one platform to save time and resources.
- Built for Teams: From quickly onboarding new members to easily managing user access, Cycle’s portal has everything needed for a team to grow.
- Secure by Default: All services and configurations are secure from the start, reducing the likelihood of mistakes that could lead to a security exploit.
The Developer-Friendly Container Platform.
