Cloud
The technology that was once available only to the "big ones", now we see as a commodity. Everyone is hopping on the cloud bandwagon, and there is a good reason for that.
The sun always shines above the clouds
Ever since computers became a "thing", we have all been involved in a journey to find the best way to interact with them. On that account, designers and developers have spent substantial amount of time trying to set the computer-machine exchange of data on the right track.
There is no doubt that we've come a long way since then, but are we done? Is the rigidly square grid truly the best way to present your data? Is it all just clicks, swipes, and a boring ready-made template or framework that is exhaustively used today? Is there anything else beyond that? We say yes. Good UX takes time, but fantastic UX takes a lot of time and solid effort. Using stock, or as widely known "standardized" solutions is usually the safe choice that will never bring out the uniqueness of our client's project.
We fight this unwillingness to push for more by going beyond the monotonous grids and shapes. User experience design is not defined in a one-day brainstorming session. A top-notch UX is created and polished by a series of fine-tuned, provable, and scientifically measurable research techniques.
Cloud native all the way
When the cloud hit the spotlight of engineering teams, it wasn't at all what we depict as cloud technology today. It was basically the same old infrastructure but cheaper. No fancy services or dashboards, no auto-scalability. As cloud tech evolved, we are now in the age of microservices, containers and orchestrators, or as everybody calls it, cloud native.
At Beyond Basics we've been tinkering with this modern way of software design, development and infrastructure since its beginnings. Almost all our projects include a cloud infrastructure in one form or another. By embracing the microservice architectural pattern, we have become a full blown cloud native company. This move has proven numerous times that the proverb "Divide and conquer" is right on the spot when developing big, resilient and scalable solutions.

Automation as a core value
The cloud native movement brought us new ways of how we deal with the usual workflows such as continuous integration and contonious deployment. Automation of these processes allow us to have faster delivery with fewer engineers, which in turn is cheaper and simpler.
Integrated software testing tools make sure that each update has passed a series of quality assurance workflows, making sure that our products work as expected.Having automation as one of our values is something we take very seriously. Modern problems ask for modern solutions, and automation is at their core.
No matter the size
No matter the size of your project or company, the cloud is for everyone. Whether you are a large company with a desire to deliver your services worldwide, or just a small startup with big dreams, the cloud will give you the flexibility to scale and upgrade in no-time. It almost seems like a magical place, doesn't it?
We are the ones that will build that cloud for you. We will grow with youm get wiser with you, celebrate with you. Embrace the cloud, we already have.
