DevOps and CI/CD pipeline services

We get applications into production and keep releases dependable: automated build and release pipelines, consistent environments, and help when a deployment or production system fails.

Signs your delivery process needs attention

  • Only one person knows how to deploy
  • Releases need a checklist of manual steps
  • It works locally but fails after deployment
  • There’s no staging environment, so changes are tested in production
  • Builds are slow or fail intermittently
  • Configuration and secrets are scattered or undocumented

What the work covers

Deployment and environments

Setting up production, staging and development environments that behave consistently.

CI/CD pipelines

Automated build, test and release pipelines, or improvements to the ones you have.

Release safety

Automated tests in the pipeline, staged rollouts and a rollback path that has actually been tried.

Production troubleshooting

Diagnosing failed deployments, outages and environment-specific errors, then preventing repeats.

How a DevOps engagement runs

  1. 01

    Review the current setup

    We look at how code moves from a developer’s machine to production today.

  2. 02

    Agree the target

    We propose a release process and environment setup proportionate to your team and application.

  3. 03

    Implement step by step

    Changes are introduced gradually so production keeps running throughout.

  4. 04

    Document and hand over

    Your team gets runbooks for releasing, rolling back and handling common failures.

Questions about this service

All questions
Do you work with our existing CI/CD tools?

Usually, yes. If you already use a pipeline or hosting platform, we’ll improve what you have before suggesting anything new.

Can you fix a deployment that is failing right now?

Contact us with as much detail as you can. We’ll tell you straight away whether we can take it on and what we need to start.

Will our team be able to run releases without you?

That’s the aim. We document the process and walk your team through it so releases don’t depend on us.
