Founded in 2014 by Laine Campbell (PalominoDB) Aaron Lee (DriveDev) and Vicki Vance (DriveDev) by the merger of PalominoDB and DriveDev, Inc., Blackbird.io works with companies to remove scalability bottlenecks, reduce manual effort, and create new capabilities that maximize velocity and create operational excellence. Blackbird defines the objectives and scope for a tailored plan for audit, classification and transformation to the maturity needed for your specific business goals. We then transition to your operations team or to our own BlackOps team for ongoing operational excellence and sustainment. Blackbird ACTS. (Audit, Classify, Transform, Sustain): Audit: Blackbird recognizes that every environment has its own unique challenges. Discovery allows us to work with you to baseline your environment on our DevOps and Database Maturity Matrix. This allows us to define the necessary steps to meeting your business and technology needs with the minimum investment of effort. Transformation: New systems, cloud environments and processes require sane transitions. Our teams unify with your teams to create and validate target environments, implement logical migration plans, and support you throughout all aspects until completion. DevOps Essentials: Blackbird offers a prediction timeline, capacity planning, automated configuration management, and automated deployments to bridge the divide between development and operations and to drive world class development velocity. Database Essentials: Databases are hard! Blackbird built its reputation on managing large, distributed and complex persistence tiers. Configuration management, availability, business continuity, backup and recovery, observability and alerting, schema management, configuration and performance all come into play for the properly built and managed persistence tier. Sustainment (BlackOps): Operational excellence comes in two flavors: proactive and reactive. Blackbird BlackOps combines both to drive optimal value to our clients. Our operations staff work together to provide 24x7 incident and problem management, while managing change, running maintenance and reviewing systems. Integration with our service delivery architects and consultants, as well as your development teams means optimal efficiency at all levels. Blackbird.io is located in San Francisco, CA at 222 8th St. -- in the heart of SOMA.
