DevOps & CI/CD
DevOps is not a role you hire — it is a capability you build into your delivery pipeline. We set up CI/CD pipelines that run tests and deploy on merge, containerise applications for environment consistency, provision cloud infrastructure through code (no manual clicking), and establish monitoring and alerting so incidents surface before users report them. Whether you are shipping a Next.js SaaS, a Django API, or a microservice fleet, we create the infrastructure that lets your development team focus on features instead of deployment friction.

What you get
Deliverables
Everything included in a standard engagement. Scope is agreed upfront — no surprises.
- CI/CD pipeline (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or CircleCI)
- Containerisation (Docker + Compose for local, Kubernetes for prod where applicable)
- Infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or Pulumi for cloud resource provisioning)
- Environment separation (dev / staging / production with parity)
- Automated testing integration (unit, integration, E2E in pipeline)
- Secrets management setup (AWS Secrets Manager, Vault, or Doppler)
- Monitoring and alerting (Datadog, Grafana, or Sentry with PagerDuty)
- Runbook documentation for common operational tasks
How it works
Our process
Structured delivery means you know what happens at every stage — before we start.
- 01
Infrastructure Audit
We review your current deployment process, identify bottlenecks, single points of failure, and manual steps that should be automated.
- 02
Pipeline Design
We design the CI/CD pipeline flow — branch strategy, test stages, deployment gates, rollback triggers — and agree the target cloud setup.
- 03
Containerisation & IaC
Application is containerised, infrastructure resources are provisioned through code, and environment parity is established.
- 04
Pipeline Implementation
CI/CD pipeline is built, connected to your VCS, and tested end-to-end with a real deployment to staging.
- 05
Monitoring & Handover
Monitoring dashboards and alerting configured. Runbook written. Team walkthrough conducted so the pipeline is owned and understood.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about DevOps & CI/CD.
Probably not yet. Kubernetes adds significant operational complexity and is warranted when you need: container orchestration across many services at scale, sophisticated deployment strategies (blue/green, canary), or fine-grained resource management across a large microservice fleet. For most applications under USD 5M ARR, managed container services (ECS, Cloud Run, Railway) give you 90% of the benefit at 20% of the complexity.
AWS (primary), GCP, Azure, DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Linode, Vultr, and Cloudflare. For most projects, we recommend AWS for its depth of managed services, or Hetzner for cost-efficient European hosting. We choose based on your existing setup, compliance requirements, and budget.
Yes — especially for a small team. The smaller your team, the more damage an unstable deployment process causes. CI/CD removes the mental overhead of "is this safe to deploy?" and lets developers merge with confidence. A basic GitHub Actions pipeline that runs tests and deploys to staging takes 1–2 days to set up and pays for itself immediately.
Managed hosting (Vercel, Railway, Render) is the right answer for most web apps — it handles infrastructure so you can focus on code. DevOps engineering adds value when: (a) you need custom networking, VPC configuration, or compliance controls managed hosting cannot provide, (b) your application has complex multi-service orchestration needs, (c) infrastructure costs at scale justify self-managing compute. We help you make this call based on your actual requirements.
