A bit about Weever Apps

Weever Apps builds cloud-based, enterprise-class applications designed to help teams initiate, execute and complete work more efficiently. Its software helps organisations capture, collate, manage and improve their workflow systems.


Why Weever Apps chose AWS

When Weever Apps decided to migrate to Amazon Web Services (AWS), finding the right partner to manage DevOps was one of its most important concerns. After evaluating multiple partners, the company chose base2Services, an Advanced Consulting Partner in the AWS Partner Network. "The strength of the AWS Partner Network has enabled us to build a relationship that is critical to our success," says Garth Gutenberg, senior DevOps manager at Weever Apps.

"base2 has been our partner from day one," says Steve McBride, CEO and cofounder of Weever Apps. "We see it as an extension of our company more than a typical partner. They are a seamless part of our DevOps team."

How base2Services delivered

Using AWS, Weever Apps can focus on software development rather than infrastructure management, and base2Services adds another layer of support by handling upgrades, changes and service health. "We have daily contact with base2Services," says Gutenberg. "They managed our entire migration, architected our AWS environment, and built an agile deployment process that helps get features to customers faster."

base2Services also works with Weever Apps on forward-looking projects, such as the company's adoption of a content-delivery system based on Amazon CloudFront and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). "It's a collaborative effort," says Gutenberg. "We gave their team high-level direction about what we wanted to accomplish, and we work together to make it a reality." base2Services has helped create a deployment process that empowers Weever Apps developers to build and test solutions using modern engineering best practices, such as well-orchestrated code commits and collaborative code repositories. "It truly is a team effort," says Gutenberg—one that helps Weever Apps make the most of its investment in AWS.

We gladly put security in the hands of the best-known cloud-services provider in the world—AWS—so we can easily pass technical reviews and move the sales process forward.
