The dev ops and developer tool sector is ever-growing. If you're designing a site for an ML/AI company you know how niche inspiration for this sector can be. That's exactly why we've rounded up nineteen companies who are on the cutting edge of design for this growing market below. Enjoy!
1. Planet Scale
Planet Scale is a web-based solution for building and managing large, complex websites. It’s one of the best ways to manage and maintain your site while making sure it stays on-track with your development timeline. With Planet Scale, you can create scalable cloud architecture that supports large teams working on multiple projects at once. The software also offers real-time collaboration, which means there’s no need to wait until someone finishes something before it can be reviewed by another team member.
The tool gives you access to an unlimited number of databases and servers so that you don’t have to worry about scaling up as much as other tools might require. It even has built-in automatic backups so that you don’t lose any data should something go wrong during updates or maintenance tasks. This feature alone makes it worth using if nothing else!
2. Incident.io
Incident.io is a tool for managing customer support requests, including creating tickets and assigning them to team members. It also offers a chat feature so you can discuss the issue with your client in real time. This tool is most useful in managing customer support requests, but it can be used if you're working on other projects as well.
3. Lattice
Looking to improve the performance of your website? Lattice has a free feature that allows you to analyze your website’s performance and find out if there are any potential issues with it. It also shows you how well your site performs by comparing it against similar websites in terms of load time, content size and more. Lattice can also provide recommendations for improving performance based on their analysis results which makes it easy for anyone who doesn’t have a technical background to make changes on their own.
4. Github
The most important thing to remember when using Github is that it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. You'll need to select the right tools for your particular project, and this can be done in a number of ways . A good place to start is by looking at the types of projects you're working on. For example, if you're developing websites with WordPress or Drupal, there are plugins that integrate Git into these platforms so they can be managed through Github.
If you're building sites using Ruby on Rails, then there are plugins available for integrating Git with your workflow (we recommend SourceTree). Other developers may prefer alternative source code management tools like Bitbucket or GitLab which offer similar functionality but have unique features that make them ideal for certain use cases such as code reviews or GitHub integration.
5. Snyk.io
Snyk.io is a security vulnerability management platform that automatically monitors your app and alerts you to any new issues, helping you fix them before they become problems. Snyk's security dashboard is easy to use and very quick to set up, making it an ideal choice for any developer who wants better visibility into their app's security.
6. LaunchDarkly
LaunchDarkly is a feature flagging tool that allows you to test out new features before they hit your website. It also helps you control what features are turned on, off, or changed at any given time. This allows you to create different groups of users and give them access to different versions of the website depending on their group membership. LaunchDarkly has several tools and features that can help developers with their DevOps process including:
- Feature Flags: Allows teams to roll out changes gradually with zero downtime by breaking up releases into small chunks instead of one big bang release
- Remote Configs: Enables organizations to manage configuration settings through an external service which allows them to make changes without having to go back into codebase
7. Elastic
Elastic is a cloud-based platform that enables you to search, monitor, and analyze data in real time. The Elastic Stack (formerly known as the ELK stack) is made up of four separate open source projects: Elasticsearch for search and analytics; Logstash for log analytics; Kibana for visualizations; and Beats, a suite of extensible reporting tools. Elasticsearch is a distributed RESTful search service built on top of Apache Lucene™ with a schema-free JSON document store. It uses an inverted index to store terms along with metadata such as geo-coordinates or timestamps, making it really fast at full-text searches.
8. Vercel
Vercel is another code review tool. It has a pretty user-friendly interface and makes code reviews easy to assign and view. Vercel's pricing starts at $15 per month, but it's worth noting that they offer free trials and don't charge you anything until after your trial period is over.
9. Fylamynt
Fylamynt is a monitoring system that allows you to create alerts and notifications when something goes wrong with your website or application. It also gives you a dashboard where you can keep track of everything happening on the site, so you don’t have to worry about missing anything. Fylamynt monitors the following:
- HTTP requests
- Database queries
- Errors in PHP files
10. Intercom
Intercom is a customer communication platform that helps companies talk to their customers. It has many features like live chat, email marketing, analytics and more. Intercom is used by over 2 million web and mobile businesses worldwide, including Etsy, Shopify and Instacart.
11. Framer
Framer is a design tool for prototyping and building high-fidelity, interactive prototypes. It enables you to easily create complex designs with the use of code and real data.
12. Cmd
Cmd is a command line tool for building static websites. It's written in JavaScript and built on top of Grunt, so it has access to all Grunt plugins, such as CoffeeScript compilation or image optimization through imagemin. Cmd takes care of common tasks like minifying code and automatically prefixing stylesheet variables with `process` (see below). Cmd also supports livereload, which reloads the browser when you save a file. You can even set up your own custom livereload paths if you don't want the default ones (e.g., /style/style.* instead of /style/).
13. Scale
Scale is an online service that helps businesses scale their websites and apps. It's a great tool for designers looking to make their work more scalable, but it's also useful for developers who are interested in learning how to build high-performance web applications with NodeJS or Go.
14. Auth0
Auth0 is a service that allows you to add authentication to your website. Auth0 makes it easy for developers, business managers, and security professionals to implement social login capabilities, single sign on solutions, multifactor authentication (MFA), and password-less experiences. Auth0 offers three ways of authenticating users: via username/password combinations; by integrating with social media accounts like Facebook, LinkedIn and Google+, which use 0Auth2 tokens; or by using hotlink URLs (a customized link with an expiring token) so users can log in without typing their password again.
15. Codesphere
Codesphere is a developer tool that helps you test and debug your code. It also provides other features to help streamline your work day:
- A repository of free coding tutorials
- Deployment to the cloud (AWS, DigitalOcean, etc.) with one click
- Continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD)
16. Asana
Asana is an online task management software that helps teams manage their projects. Asana provides a central hub where you can keep track of all your tasks, organize them into boards, assign tasks to team members, and collaborate with others on projects. Asana will help you stay focused on the most important tasks in your project and keep everyone working together. It's easy to use and has many tools included within the app (like file sharing) so that you don't need to leave it open all day long in order for it to work effectively for your business needs.
17. Stripe
Stripe is a simple and powerful API that helps businesses accept payments online. It's ideal for companies with fewer than 10 employees, whether they're selling services or products through their website. Stripe has two tiers: Stripe Atlas and the core API. Stripe Atlas gives you access to all of its tools (like customer support, testing environments, etc.), while the core API offers a wide range of features like payment processing and authentication integrations with third-party services like Salesforce or Zapier.
18. Cycode
Cycode is a code review tool that integrates with Github and Slack. It supports the use of bots for automated reviewing, but it can also be used manually. With Cycode, you can create custom workflows that fit your company's needs. If you want to facilitate more collaboration between teams and departments, this is a great tool to look into!
19. Linear
A tool that helps you optimize your website's performance. It will check the quality of your code (on both desktop and mobile) and provide recommendations for improvements. This can be especially helpful if you're new to coding, since it can make sure that you aren't making any mistakes without even realizing it! Another great thing about Linear is that it makes sure all of your Javascript files are loaded in a logical order, so users don't experience any lag from having everything load at once.
With this inspo, you'll have everything you need to take your website design to the next level. If you'd like to consult one of our experts on the best way to build your site, drop us a line!
