Fylamynt : Automating the Cloud Workflow

Also, manual ad hoc efforts, coupled with siloed tools and scattered information across different places, might lead to human errors such as missing a step or two. That is why we codify the workflow so that Ops teams respond to the same type of incidents in a consistent way. This Workflow-as-Code—with or without writing code—makes the workflow-building process more manageable. We also have a visual interface to enable individuals to drag-and-drop and build a workflow quickly, speeding deployment. Fylamynt runs workflows automatically every time an incident happens and provides various control options to prevent clients from making mistakes.

Could you elaborate more on the Fylamynt platform?

It is delivered as a SaaS solution. By simply signing up with an email address, anyone can access our product. We offer a free version of the product with all features available. However, the free version is limited by the number of runs that clients can perform. Clients can start in workflows as soon as they log in and connect to their cloud account. Organizations can access numerous plans per month according to their business needs. The three key capabilities that Fylamynt provides are the ability to build, run, and analyze workflows. Its visual interface is easy-to-use and flexible, allowing technical users to write their workflows in Python and JSON. They can easily switch between a drag-and-drop interface or code without losing any information. Its built-in secure connectors enable users to run their workflows by connecting any cloud service to any code. The platform debugs and analyzes any workflow, irrespective of the service or code executed. It also allows users to perform two or more tasks in parallel, depending on the workflow they run. We are working in a unique segment, cloud orchestration, automation, remediation (COAR), which is still in its infancy. It is similar to security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) which was coined by Gartner. They came up with the term SOAR that orchestrates and automates all tools used in a SOC (Security Operations Center) to manage security incidents. We are doing the same for cloud tools by connecting services and codes.

Could you give us a customer success story?

We have been working with a few companies to help them deal with incident response. Whenever an incident occurs, DevOps engineers are assigned quickly to resolve the issue. The first step they take is troubleshooting the systems to check the problem and vulnerabilities. By automating the troubleshooting workflows, our platform automatically runs it as soon as the incident occurs without any human intervention. Our customers can set many controls around various workflows and potential incidents. In essence, our pre-built troubleshooting workflows gather the necessary data on an incident and enable our customers to make better decisions to effectively address an issue.

What does the future hold for Fylamynt?

Due to COVID, digitization accelerated at an unprecedented pace. As a result, the workload of DevOps engineers increased ten times as more incidents and problems took place. The need for automation to solve these also spiked. Businesses started to prioritize the need for automation to increase efficiency and lower costs. We have been focused on the integrations and bringing all siloed tools together so far. Now, our focus is on delivering more advanced capabilities, such as multi-cloud support and driving workloads and workflows on AWS, Azure, and other cloud platforms. We will also release a Teams feature that will allow clients to set role-based access control across their teams. Additionally, we plan to add more features to help clients meet the PCA compliance and other compliance requirements. Our aim is to automate every part of cloud workflow with a low code approach and drive high productivity.
