Suitable for
- Deploying an application to a new server
- Moving from a platform service to a dedicated VM
- Configuring separate preview and production environments
- Repairing unreliable server or reverse proxy configurations
Discuss this requirement →CI/CD and Deployment Automation
Automate software delivery so releases become repeatable, traceable, and less dependent on manual server work.
Typical deliverables
- GitHub Actions workflows and GitLab CI/CD pipelines
- Build, test, deployment, and Docker registry workflows
- SSH-based deployment automation where appropriate
- Environment-specific secrets and configuration
- Preview, staging, and production deployment flows
- Verification, rollback procedures, and documentation
Suitable for
- Replacing manual SSH and deployment steps
- Introducing automated deployments for an existing application
- Separating preview and production releases
- Diagnosing failed or unreliable pipelines
Discuss this requirement →Kubernetes and OpenShift Support
Deploy, configure, and troubleshoot containerised workloads running on Kubernetes or OpenShift.
Typical deliverables
- Deployment, StatefulSet, Service, Route, and Ingress configuration
- ConfigMaps, Secrets, resource limits, and health probes
- Persistent storage and network policy configuration
- Application monitoring and backup integration
- Deployment and runtime troubleshooting
- Operational documentation and handover
Suitable for
- Deploying applications to Kubernetes or OpenShift
- Troubleshooting failing workloads
- Configuring storage, networking, or routes
- Improving the operational readiness of an existing deployment
Discuss this requirement →Monitoring and Reliability
Implement operational visibility so infrastructure and application problems can be detected, investigated, and resolved more effectively.
Typical deliverables
- Prometheus configuration and Grafana dashboards
- Infrastructure, application, availability, and database metrics
- Alert rules and backup monitoring
- Log collection guidance
- Incident investigation and root-cause analysis
- Monitoring documentation and handover
Suitable for
- Adding monitoring to an existing application or server
- Creating useful dashboards for operational teams
- Detecting recurring infrastructure failures
- Improving backup and service-health visibility
Discuss this requirement → ENGAGEMENTS
Engagement options
Fixed-scope implementation
A clearly defined infrastructure, deployment, monitoring, or automation task delivered against an agreed scope.
Infrastructure or deployment audit
A review of an existing environment, deployment workflow, or operational configuration with prioritised findings and recommendations.
Short-term troubleshooting
Focused investigation and remediation of a specific infrastructure, deployment, Kubernetes, Linux, or monitoring problem.
Ongoing DevOps assistance
Scheduled support for teams that need recurring infrastructure, automation, deployment, or reliability improvements without a full-time DevOps hire.
PROCESS
How the engagement works
- 01
Discovery and requirements
Define the problem, current environment, constraints, expected outcome, and access requirements.
- 02
Technical assessment
Review the existing architecture, deployment process, infrastructure, risks, and operational dependencies.
- 03
Implementation plan
Establish the scope, proposed approach, deliverables, assumptions, and validation criteria.
- 04
Delivery and validation
Implement the agreed changes, test the result, verify failure paths where appropriate, and confirm the expected outcome.
- 05
Documentation and handover
Provide the relevant configuration notes, operational procedures, and recommendations required to maintain the implementation.
EXPECTATIONS
Service boundaries
Clear boundaries protect the delivery, access, and operational safety of both sides.
- No guaranteed 24/7 managed operations or emergency-response SLA unless explicitly agreed.
- Production changes require an appropriate backup or rollback path.
- Security testing requires written authorisation.
- Client secrets stay out of public repositories, and production credentials are never committed to source control.
- Scope, access, responsibilities, and validation criteria are agreed before implementation.
