Opsolutely helps teams get their software from where they write it to where they run it while empowering the whole team to deploy. It's like having an extra devops engineer on staff and it doesn't interfere with your current workflow or require you to change which tools you use in your pipeline. We're committed to people over process, to explicit over implicit, to healthy and diverse teams over traditional hiring biases, and to trans-inclusive intersectional feminism over patriarchy.

Clients included Revolution Health, CruiseJobFinder.com and JobMonkey.com, and various HIPAA-compliant agencies working in healthcare services from California to Washington state.

This was the kind of company that, after it shuts down, everybody involved only speaks its name after they're three drinks in. No longer in existence.
