DO-01
CI/CD Pipelines
GitLab CI and GitHub Actions pipelines: linting, type checks, tests, builds, deploys. Caching tuned, jobs parallelized, previews per branch.

DevOps that actually works.
CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, incident response, and infrastructure-as-code — for teams who need operational maturity without a full-time DevOps hire.
Sheet 01 · Overview
Operations is a discipline — not a side quest.
Most engineering teams know what DevOps should look like in theory. In practice the work falls between functions: developers do not have time, ops is half-staffed, and the on-call rotation is whoever drew the short straw.
We embed as a retained DevOps function: CI/CD pipelines that are fast and trustworthy, monitoring that catches real problems, incident response with documented escalation, and infrastructure-as-code so deploys are not three engineers in a conference room.
Engagements range from “fix the chaotic GitLab pipeline” to “be our DevOps team for the next 12 months.” Scoped to a written plan, billed predictably, owned end-to-end.

Infrastructure as Code
Terraform, Pulumi, or Docker Compose — depending on the engagement. Provisioning becomes a code review, not a checklist.

DO-03
Monitoring & Alerting
Uptime, latency, error rates, business KPIs, and infrastructure metrics — wired to alerts that page when (and only when) something is genuinely wrong.
MonitoringAlerts
DO-04
Incident Response
Runbooks, escalation paths, on-call rotation support, and post-incident reviews that actually improve the system.
IncidentsRunbooks
DO-05
Security Hardening
Secrets management, dependency scanning, network policy, and access audits. OWASP-aligned defenses applied to the application and infrastructure layers.

DO-06
Cost Optimization
Cloud spend audited. Idle resources retired. Right-sized instances. Reserved capacity where workloads justify it.

Sheet 03 · Process
How we operate.
- Phase 01
Audit
Inventory pipelines, monitoring, runbooks, IaC, secrets management, and access. Output: a DevOps maturity report with prioritized gaps.
- Phase 02
Quick wins
Pipeline speedups, missing monitoring, runbook drafts, and access cleanup — shipped in the first 2-4 weeks.
- Phase 03
Structural work
IaC adoption, environment parity, incident response process, and longer-running improvements scoped per quarter.
- Phase 04
Operate
Retained ops as ongoing engagement: monthly reviews, capacity planning, security patching, and continuous improvement.

Sheet 05 · FAQ
Questions, answered.
Do you offer DevOps as a standalone service?
Yes — retained DevOps engagements covering CI/CD, monitoring, incident response, and infrastructure hardening for teams who do not have a dedicated DevOps function.
What about on-call?
We can be the on-call rotation or augment yours. Pager response is scoped per engagement with documented escalation paths.
Which monitoring stack do you use?
Cloudflare Analytics, Datadog, BetterStack, Sentry, and provider-native dashboards — chosen based on what is already in place and what gaps exist.
Do you support multi-cloud?
Yes when the workload benefits. Most engagements consolidate onto one provider (DigitalOcean by default), but multi-cloud for failover or specific services is in scope.
Can you fix a chaotic CI/CD setup?
Yes — most CI/CD audits find slow pipelines, missing caches, sequential jobs that could run in parallel, and tests running on every branch when they should only run on PRs. Cleanup is usually the first quick win.
