From Portland to the Cloud: Our DevOps Journey

Scaling multiple tech brands simultaneously is no small feat. When Northwest Core Holdings first expanded, we quickly realized that manual deployments and fragmented server configurations were going to be our bottleneck. We needed a unified DevOps strategy.

We embraced infrastructure as code (IaC) and containerization to build a platform that could serve both Apptrekker's mobile backends and Webtrenders' complex web applications. By standardizing our CI/CD pipelines, we reduced deployment times from hours to minutes.

Based here in Portland, our engineering culture emphasizes craftsmanship. We view our infrastructure not just as plumbing, but as a crafted product in its own right. This approach has allowed us to scale our brands reliably, knowing that the foundation is rock solid.
