Imagen is an AI editing platform that saves professional photographers time by building a custom AI model that automatically edits their images based on their unique style. They provide photographers with the fastest way to batch edit their photos, allowing them to concentrate on their creative work rather than the tedious editing process.
When Shachar Polak, head of engineering, joined the company in its early stages, the first order of business was to build and prepare its cloud infrastructure for scale.
As a B2C company, they were expecting massive growth in their user base and had to ensure their infrastructure could facilitate that scale without impacting SLA.
Imagen was looking to modernize and standardize their cloud infrastructure because:
Typically, with many urgent DevOps projects to deliver, any engineering manager would hire an in-house DevOps engineer.
But for Imagen AI, it wasn’t a fast and scalable solution:
ImagenAI knew that outsourcing their DevOps projects to a professional agency was the only way to get started immediately, with minimal hassle.
After meeting with many DevOps services agencies, Shahar chose Opsfleet as the partner to help ImagenAI design and build its cloud environments.
“I was looking for a long-term partner I could trust, professionally devoted, and with whom I would enjoy working. And Opsfleet was the only company that ticked all my boxes.” - Shahar Polak, Head of Engineering, Imagen AI
ImagenAI partnered with Opsfleet to support their cloud journey and hired a DevOps specialist for a monthly ‘DevOps as-a-service’ model.
From day 1, the Opsfleet management team was heavily involved in the design and architecture.
Opsfleet’s DevOps specialist was onboarded in a few days, learned about their business and application, and immediately started tackling the most urgent projects.
“From the first meeting, I felt these guys would help me deliver my projects faster and to the highest standard.” - Shahar Polak, Head of Engineering, Imagen AI
Opsfleet helped ImagenAI build the cloud infrastructure that supports and scales its AI-powered platform:
“Their DevOps specialist has been with us for the past three years, and despite working remotely, he really feels like a part of our team.” - Shahar Polak, Head of Engineering, Imagen AI
For the past three years, Opsfleet’s DevOps specialist has worked full-time at ImagenAI, helping them build and scale a high-standard cloud environment that supports their continuous and massive scale.
During peak times with many DevOps project deliveries in the pipeline, Imagen AI has the flexibility to onboard one or more additional engineers to facilitate the demand.
Besides leveraging our valuable technical resources, Imagen also regularly consults with Opsfleet’s DevOps experts regarding their cloud architecture, cost savings, and other strategic initiatives.
"Knowing that I have flexible access to top DevOps resources whenever I need them is reassuring to an engineering manager because I don’t need to think about the long and exhausting hiring process.” - Shahar Polak, Head of Engineering, Imagen AI
“Opsfleet helps us close DevOps gaps, remove infrastructure bottlenecks, and reduce our time to market.
Their dedication to our success helps us deliver any DevOps project at any scale.”
