Bunnyshell vs. Backstage for Environment Management

Many software development companies are adopting Environment as a Service (EaaS) because of its many benefits for production and not only. This article discusses the reasons why EaaS is great for businesses of all sizes. It will also mention how Bunnyshell has the perfect EaaS solution for you.  

A well-executed proof of concept requires careful planning and preparation but is an important part of seeing whether or not a product is feasible for the market. Development teams that don’t use proof of concept end up regretting it. 

This article discusses the DevOps skills gap, what it is and how to close it with Environment as a Service, and other things you can do to reduce the skills gap. Finally, we end by mentioning how Bunnyshell can help along the process

When we think about a good developer team, we think about hiring the most skilled and experienced individuals. But is that enough to deliver high-velocity work? 

In this article, we’ll focus on explaining what development velocity is, how to measure it, and how to increase it without sacrificing quality by using an Environment as a Service solution. Stay with us until the end to also find out how Bunnyshell can make your work easier. 

Ephemeral environments are a growing trend because they can replace or reduce the time spent in staging environments, thus significantly cutting down on development costs. 

Thanks to the advancements in cloud computing, today, almost anything can come in the form of aaS (as a Service). From the well-known Software as a Service (SaaS) to more “exotic” offerings such as Artificial Intelligence as a Service (AIaaS), Blockchain as a Service (BaaS), or IoT as a Service (IoTaaS), all these systems have the same core characteristic: a web-based interface through which the customer interacts with the system.

Setting up test environments presents challenges such as management -  how are you going to manage all of them? Additionally, manually creating these environments means extra time, effort, and resources for your DevOps teams and not only. But, there are solutions.  

The IT industry is changing every day with new trends and developments. Because of this, a major shift has occurred towards test environments, driven entirely by automation and self-service. This is where Environment as a Service (EaaS) comes in, supporting faster innovation and eliminating any environment bottlenecks.

As we’ve previously illustrated in ourWhat is EaaSarticle, Environment as a Service has the application and its environment version controlled and managed as a single entity. A few immediate benefits of this approach are lowered costs, increased speed, and experimentation possibilities.
