Development of client solutions

Over time, NMH has developed its online titles in various programming languages. This required an individual approach to each of them. As a result, the number of services has increased and the requirements on administration or possible modifications have been scaled up. Therefore, we have moved the development of existing services and applications to a containerized environment, which has yielded countless benefits. The main one is a single development environment that ensures consistency from the development itself to the production environment and allows for very quick implementation of a new version or an entirely new service.

Solution/approach by DIGMIA

• Installation and configuration of a containerized environment
• Containerization of existing applications
• Best practices on how to develop new applications
• Training and lectures for internal employees to utilize the potential of the new solution to the maximum extent possible

Advantages of a solution for the client

• The simple administration of an application in a single environment, regardless of the technology (programming language)
• Scalability of the entire infrastructure
• Operation of applications independent of a data-centre
