Developer
Experience: where product delivery and talent retention meet

Frontside helps Cloud native orgs create Developer Experiences that put the joy back in productivity

“Frontside has an unwavering commitment to Developer Experience and quality. They make sure everything we do is repeatable and scalable.”

— Brian Beale, Director of Software Engineering at Resideo

Developers' problems are business problems

There’s a clear path from engineers complaining about being blocked to managers concerned about burnout rates to leadership worried about deadlines being continuously pushed back. Frontside implements strategies that allow developers to decouple their work from external dependencies to keep shipping smoothly.

Engineers have less patience for a frustrating job

Developers don’t just get frustrated when they stumble upon obstacles in their workflow—they leave to find new opportunities that allow them to rediscover the joy of coding. Frontside takes a proactive approach to discovering pain points in the development process to ensure firms retain their talent and deliver on time.

Sharp engineers need sharp tools

Dealing with flimsy CI/CD integrations or antiquated patterns makes development feel like navigating a bureaucracy rather than a creative endeavor. Frontside helps firms transform their development workflow into an inspiring process for developers and management alike.

Decoupled teams → happier teams

The obstacles preventing developers from feeling productive can appear outside of your control. Typical development processes can lead to engineers being blocked while another team rushes to finish a backend service or waiting for an external API to get upgraded. Frontside helps your team implement decoupling strategies via simulation and future-forward architecture advice so your developers can continue working despite external dependencies.

The whole development cycle is important

Optimizing every part of the development process is crucial if you want happy and productive developers. Engineers quickly get frustrated and releases don’t ship if any part of the development process is slow or convoluted.

Development

How long does it take from the moment a person joins the team until they submit their first PR?

Verification

Are developers afraid of inadvertently breaking tests? Are dev teams and QA stepping on each other’s toes?

Release

How much effort does it take your team to make a release? Can they release multiple times a day?
