A complete DevOps SDLC for the product you already run.
A complete DevOps SDLC for a product that already exists — infrastructure as code, CI/CD, cloud setup and monitoring, defined once and handed to your team to run.
What you get
- Infrastructure-as-code repository you own outright
- CI/CD with environment promotion and a rollback that works
- Cloud accounts and networking set up to a documented standard
- Monitoring, alerting and an on-call rota that has been rehearsed
- Security checks and secrets management running in the pipeline
- A runbook and a handover so your team runs it without us
Most startups reach a point where the product works but the way it ships does not: deploys are manual, the cloud account grew by hand, nobody owns the alerts, and one person holds the whole picture in their head.
We build the DevOps SDLC around the product you already have. Everything goes into code — infrastructure, pipelines, policies — and everything is handed over with a runbook, so the improvement does not leave when we do.
What we help with.
Infrastructure as code
The whole environment in Terraform — accounts, networking, clusters, databases, DNS — reviewable, reproducible and owned by your team.
CI/CD pipelines
Build, test and deploy pipelines with environment promotion, caching and parallelism, and a deploy time you can actually see.
Cloud setup and landing zone
Account structure, identity, networking and guardrails on AWS, Azure or GCP, set up to a standard rather than clicked together once.
Monitoring and alerting
Metrics, logs and health checks with alerts that page a person only when something is actually wrong.
DevSecOps
Secrets management, dependency and image scanning, and policy checks that run in the pipeline rather than at the end of it.
Kubernetes and platform
Containers, clusters and the managed services around them, with autoscaling and failure modes you have actually tested.
SOC 2 and ISO 27001 readiness
Controls enforced by the platform so the evidence is a by-product of how you already work — taken to the point where an auditor can start.
Release and rollback
A release process your team keeps running after we go, with a rollback that has been tested and not just written down.
The terms every engagement runs on.
One team, start to finish
One team owns your system from architecture to on-call. There is no handover wall to throw requirements over.
Evidence before launch
AI features get an evaluation set before they get a launch date. If we cannot measure it, we say so.
Built to be handed over
Documentation and knowledge transfer are contract terms, not favours. You should be able to leave us at any point.
Senior engineers, not a bench
The people who scope your engagement are the ones who build and run it, never handed off to someone you haven't met.

Questions about devops.
We already have a product in production. Where do you start?
With what exists. We take stock of the current cloud accounts, the deploy process and the alerts, then put the environment into Terraform and the deploys into a pipeline — usually starting with the path that breaks or scares people most.
Do we own the infrastructure, or are we locked into you running it?
You own it. Everything is defined in Terraform and handed over as a repository your team can read, change and run without us, with a runbook for the parts that need judgement.
What does DevSecOps mean here in practice?
Secrets management, dependency and image scanning, and policy checks that run in the pipeline rather than at the end of it — plus CI/CD with environment promotion and a rollback that has actually been tested.
Can you get us ready for a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 audit?
We start with a gap assessment mapped to SOC 2 and ISO 27001 controls and tell you how far away you actually are. The controls are enforced by the platform, so the evidence is a by-product of how you already work rather than a separate document exercise.
Do you do the cloud migration too, or just the pipelines?
Both, if the migration is part of the job — lift, re-platform or rebuild, sequenced with no planned downtime so the system that runs the business stays live throughout.
