// DevOps on a retainer
DevOps as a Service
CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and the day-to-day operations work, handled by one certified senior engineer. Response is next business day on Starter and same business day on Growth.
No sales layer, no juniors. You meet the engineer before anything begins.
// Services
Our DevOps Services
DevOps Implementation
Pipelines, infrastructure as code, and repeatable deploys, built on AWS and handed over with documentation your team can read.
Process Automation
The manual steps between a merged pull request and production get automated, one at a time, starting with the ones that break most often.
DevSecOps Integration
Security in the pipeline instead of after it: IAM least privilege, Secrets Manager with rotation, dependency and image scanning, WAF, MFA alerting.
// Scope

// Track record
Why Choose Our DevOps Services?
Faster Delivery
12 Jenkins pipelines migrated to CircleCI on one engagement, so releases stopped waiting on a person to babysit them.
Fewer Incidents
Production incidents cut by more than 50% across 26 services at a data governance SaaS (NDA).
Lower AWS Bill
AWS bill cut 46% on one engagement. An audit typically surfaces 20 to 40% of the bill in waste.
One Senior Engineer
9 certifications across AWS, Terraform, and Kubernetes. 6+ production AWS migrations led. The person you talk to is the person who does the work.
// Process
Our DevOps Implementation Process
Assessment and Planning
Review the pipelines, environments, and access you have today. Write down the gaps and the order to fix them in.
Tool Selection and Setup
Pick tools your team can run without us, then configure them for your repositories and AWS accounts.
Pipeline Development
Build the CI/CD pipelines: testing, security scanning, artifact management, and deployment stages.
Handover and Training
Walk your engineers through everything. Documentation lands in your repository, not in ours.
Monitoring and Iteration
Add monitoring and alerting, then keep tuning as traffic and the team change.
