Why in-house development and the cloud matter now
-
The importance of in-house development
In the AI era, development speed and avoiding black boxes are essential. That calls for a fast cycle of operational improvement that cannot be achieved by depending on outside vendors.
-
High productivity with Azure and GitHub
Azure PaaS/Serverless and the latest GitHub features minimize the effort of managing infrastructure, so even a small team with limited resources can achieve high productivity.
How ZEN Architects helps
Through workshop-style services and continuous support services, we work alongside our customers and lead their in-house projects to success.
We do not take on contracted development
We do not build production environments or write the code ourselves. Our customers do the hands-on work; we specialize in helping them build their own in-house development organization.
Broad technical coverage
Beyond Azure and GitHub, we support the full technology stack that modern development requires.
Development
From web back ends and front ends to mobile apps
DevSecOps & IaC
Infrastructure as code and DevSecOps in practice
Generative AI
Innovation with the latest AI technologies
Technical experts on the team
A small, select team with world-class technical skills and an active voice in the community, including Microsoft MVPs and GitHub Stars who speak at major events and run developer communities.
