Hosting your own environment?

Build, maintain and host a development environment internally, with stability, security, completely integrated is doable, the tools are there for you. But it represents a large investment and cost, and most small and medium companies can’t afford it. So, we see a lot of half-baked environments, that lack basic things like backups and security, are not integrated or are outdated. Usually those environments depend on time and effort of an individual developer.

This is a hidden cost, that slows the project, decrease productivity, frustrate developers, and risks major losses. See this simulation, make your own calculations, and decide for yourself if it is viable bringing your environment to the cloud:

 

Internal server – initial cost ToolsCloud – initial cost
Server 2,000.00
External disks for backup 500.00
Team hours to install the equipment 2,000.00
Team hours to study, install, configure and integrate all tools 4,000.00
TOTAL INITIAL COST US$ 8,500.00 TOTAL INITIAL COST 0,00

 

Internal server – monthly cost ToolsCloud – monthly cost
Internet connection with fixed IP US$ 100 Standard Plan US$ 299.00*
Second Internet connection US$ 100
Team hours to manage the environment, update tools, handle backups, etc. US$ 1,000.00
Air conditioning, eletricity, equipment maintainence US$ 100
TOTAL MONTHLY COST US$ 1,300.00 TOTAL MONTHLY COST US$ 299.00*

 

Those costs reflect a low cost internal installation, that will not offer the security and the low risk environment that can be attained in a cloud environment. Burdening your development team with the responsibility of maintaining the environemt has a huge opportunity cost. What is the cost of  having your services down, and your team having to figure out infrastructure problems instead of focusing on your product?
