Services

What We Do

Six areas of infrastructure work. Each scoped to a clear outcome, not a vague engagement. All done by engineers who then hand it over with documentation.

For teams that deploy manually or have fragile automation

CI/CD Pipeline Design & Automation

A CI/CD pipeline should be boring. You push code, tests run, and if everything passes, it deploys. The problem is that most pipelines accumulate years of patches — shell scripts nobody remembers writing, environment variables in the wrong places, manual approval gates that nobody actually checks.

We rebuild or design pipelines from scratch on GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or CircleCI, with ArgoCD or Flux for GitOps deployments where that's the right fit. The goal is a system where deploying to production is the least stressful part of an engineer's day.

Scope note: pipeline setup engagements typically take 2–4 weeks depending on the complexity of your current state and number of services. We don't manage the pipeline for you indefinitely — that becomes part of Managed DevOps if you want it.

Typically includes

  • Pipeline audit and redesign
  • Separate build, test, deploy stages
  • Environment parity (dev/staging/prod)
  • Rollback strategy
  • Secrets and credentials management
  • Handover documentation
For teams whose infrastructure exists only in someone's memory

Infrastructure as Code

If you can't reproduce your environment from a git repository, your infrastructure has a single point of failure that isn't technical — it's the person who remembers how it was set up.

We write Terraform (or Pulumi for teams preferring real languages) to describe your cloud resources, version them, and make them reproducible. This covers the full stack: networking, compute, databases, IAM, monitoring. Every resource in code. Every change reviewed and tracked.

Scope note: greenfield IaC setup for a typical startup stack takes 3–6 weeks. Brownfield migration (converting existing manual infrastructure) takes longer and involves more risk — we scope these individually after an audit.

Typically includes

  • Terraform or Pulumi modules
  • Remote state management
  • VPC, subnets, security groups
  • IAM roles and policies
  • CI integration for plan/apply
  • Module documentation
For teams moving to containers or struggling with an existing cluster

Kubernetes & Container Orchestration

Kubernetes is the right tool for a lot of situations. It is also the kind of thing that accumulates misconfigurations quietly. A cluster that works is not the same as a cluster that's configured safely, cost-efficiently, and ready for what happens at 2am.

We set up EKS, GKE or AKS clusters from scratch, or review and harden existing ones. Resource limits, RBAC, network policies, namespaces, autoscaling — all of it configured, not just deployed. If you already have a cluster, we'll tell you what's missing before something forces the conversation.

Scope note: Not every team needs Kubernetes. For applications with predictable traffic and simple architecture, ECS or a managed platform may be a more appropriate fit. We'll say so if that's the case.

Typically includes

  • Cluster setup or audit
  • RBAC and namespace design
  • HPA and cluster autoscaler
  • Network policies
  • Ingress and cert management
  • Monitoring integration
For teams moving from bare metal, shared hosting or a legacy cloud setup

Cloud Migration

Moving to the cloud — or between clouds — has a standard set of surprises: undocumented dependencies, data that's harder to move than expected, the service that turns out to be doing something nobody knew about. We've run enough migrations to know where the surprises live.

We start with an inventory, produce a migration plan with clear sequencing, and run the migration in phases with rollback available at each step. Staging environment before anything goes near production. You know the plan before we start, and nothing moves without your sign-off.

Scope note: migration timelines vary significantly based on data volume, number of services, and current documentation quality. We quote these individually after a discovery session.

Typically includes

  • Infrastructure inventory
  • Migration sequencing plan
  • Staging environment first
  • Data migration and validation
  • DNS cutover with rollback
  • Post-migration monitoring
For teams that want infrastructure owned without hiring a full-time DevOps engineer

Managed DevOps

Managed DevOps means we own the infrastructure layer. Monitoring, alerting, patching, capacity planning, incident response — handled. Your engineers work on the product, not on why the database is running hot at 11pm on a Thursday.

Three plans based on infrastructure size and SLA requirements. All plans include a dedicated contact who is an engineer, not a support ticket system. You escalate to the same person who escalates to the rest of the team.

All plans include

  • 24/7 monitoring and alerting
  • Incident response per SLA
  • Monthly infrastructure review
  • Security patching

For teams facing compliance requirements or security reviews

DevSecOps & Compliance

Compliance requirements — SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS — do not have to mean a separate security workstream that runs parallel to engineering. Security controls integrated into the CI/CD pipeline mean the review happens at the point of change, not as a gate at the end of a quarter.

We add SAST/DAST scanning, container image scanning, secrets detection, and compliance controls to existing pipelines. We also help with the documentation and evidence-gathering that auditors need — which is often the harder part.

Scope note: we are engineers, not auditors. We implement the technical controls and help you understand what evidence to collect. For the actual audit process, you will need a qualified auditor. We can recommend contacts if needed.

Typically includes

  • SAST and container scanning
  • Secrets detection
  • IAM least-privilege audit
  • Audit trail and logging
  • GDPR-aligned data handling
  • Evidence documentation

Common questions

Before you get in touch

Yes, most of the time. We're used to working with existing setups — improving them, documenting them, or migrating specific parts. We start with an audit so we know what we're dealing with before recommending anything.
Typically within 1–2 weeks of scoping. For urgent situations (production issues, compliance deadlines) we can often be faster — reach out directly to discuss.
AWS, Azure and GCP. AWS is where most of our work sits. We also work with DigitalOcean and Hetzner for simpler setups. Multi-cloud is possible but we'll tell you honestly if that adds complexity you don't need.
Yes. A one-off infrastructure audit (£950) or a scoped CI/CD setup engagement can give a small team a solid foundation without a monthly commitment. We're not trying to up-sell everyone to a managed plan.
