The best approach to product development — partnership with an MSP
There are three main approaches to software product development: building an in-house team, working with freelancers or hiring a remote software development team to do the job. Working with an IT service provider like IT Svit is the best choice, for several reasons:
- Building an in-house team is long and costly. Finding all the required talents locally can be quite challenging, unless you are located in a huge IT hub like London. In addition, even if you manage to recruit all the specialists you need in-house, you will have to invest more time and effort to make a good team out of them, because internal tensions can break the projects at full speed. To wrap it up, if an internal talent leaves, his or her aspect of your product development is halted until you find a replacement, or the whole project is at risk.
- Hiring freelance talents is risky. Working with freelancers gives you access to a pool of skilled software engineers from across the globe, but managing their daily tasks can be very time-consuming. In addition, they are prone to overestimating their capabilities and it is hard to check if they indeed have the expertise they claim to have. To say more, they have a tendency to delegate some tasks to their less skilled colleagues, which results in poor quality of code and impairs overall project performance.

7 components of IT Svit product development strategy
Below are 7 key commitments we follow to deliver a cost-efficient software product development strategy:.
- Short sprints with results delivered at the end of each sprint.
- Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery pipelines are planned and built in advance, so the new code can be tested and pushed to the staging servers automatically. The same logic works for various cloud infrastructure management operations.
- We produce small chunks of code and test them at once, so the chances of a major bug making it to production are pretty slim.
- Infrastructure as Code implemented through manifests ensures the code works the same all the way from IDE to production, getting rid of “works on my machine” issue.
- Replacing cloud vendor services with open-source tools like Docker, Terraform and Kubernetes ensures flexibility and cost-efficiency of operations.
- Building in-depth cloud monitoring solutions using ELK stack, Prometheus & Grafana, FluentD, Splunk, Sumologic and other tools to provide transparency of operations.
- Writing detailed developer documentation allows onboarding new specialists to your systems easily.
