Problem
Engineering teams often struggle with the complexity and time investment required to configure and manage deployment infrastructure on AWS. Setting up resources like CodeBuild, ECR, and EKS necessitates extensive DevOps knowledge and manual configuration, diverting developers from core product development.
Solution
Dockup automates the creation and management of AWS deployment infrastructure, enabling engineering teams to deploy code directly from GitHub without extensive DevOps expertise. By automatically provisioning and configuring resources such as CodeBuild, ECR, EKS, IAM permissions, VPCs, subnets, forwarding rules, and security groups, Dockup streamlines the deployment process. Developers can deploy code by pushing to GitHub and manage deployments or rollbacks using the Dockup UI. Dockup utilizes the user's own cloud infrastructure, eliminating vendor lock-in and allowing for complete control.
Target Audience
Dockup primarily targets engineering teams and software developers who want to simplify and accelerate their deployment process on AWS.
